This summer, Kennesaw State University offered our students participating in the Upward Bound program the opportunity to take cutting edge STEM classes. The Summer Academy STEM curriculum included electives such as Drones and Robotics, and Coding courses. The Drone Program will continue this fall, during which, students will be studying for their FAA Part 107 (Pilot License) and learning avionics, aircraft design, flight skills and dynamics, safety, and ethics related to drones.

Graduate Polk pantries are stocked and ready to meet the needs of students and their families this 2019-2020 school year.  Graduate Polk started a donation drop box for faculty and staff to donate the most needed items in our Food Pantry/Clothing Closet. This month is "August in Action", where we have asked for donations of deodorant to stock the shelves. As you can see, we are off to a great start.
