Kennesaw State President Pamela Whitten hosted the First Day of School Cake celebration on the Marietta and Kennesaw campuses on Monday, Aug. 13 to commemorate students’ first day of the fall semester.
Whitten and members of catering from University Dining handed out free, celebratory cake to students on the Kennesaw campus green from 12-1 p.m. and at the Marietta campus globe near the student center 3-4 p.m. on Monday.
Whitten first announced the plan to hold the FDOSC event in an email to faculty, staff, and students on July 25. Whitten said it is one of her favorite family traditions and wanted to share it with the KSU family on campus.
Tiffany Capuano, assistant director at the office of strategic communications and marketing, said the FDOSC is a tradition that Whitten and her three children have enjoyed every year to add to the excitement of the first day back to school.
The FDOSC is one of many events that will be held on campus as the fall semester begins during KSU’s Week of Welcome, which began with the First-Year Convocation ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 12 at 5 p.m.
