Our Faculty Matter(s)

At Radow College our faculty and staff matter. Without them, our college could not elevate our undergraduate student experiences, implement interdisciplinary research, grow our graduate programs, or engage in community and culture initiatives. Our faculty are dedicated to the Radow College mission, and we are dedicated to supporting our faculty through a range of health and wellness resources and professional development opportunities.

Personal Wellness

Take advantage of the health and wellness resources at KSU. Need to reduce stress, build muscle, or kill time before making a commute? Take a yoga class, lift some weights, or break a sweat on a tread mill. Good health and personal wellness are important to us. Kennesaw State University Employee Wellness

Healthier You Makes A Stronger KSU

Kennesaw State has 3 fitness centers available. The Dr. Betty L. Siegel Student Recreation and Activities Center on the Kennesaw campus, the Recreation and Wellness Center on the Marietta campus and the Employee Fitness Center at KSU Center.

All of the centers require a membership and a variety of options are available.

Additionally, during some school breaks, local fitness centers will offer complimentary access. Keep an eye on KSU Today for information when that occurs.
