Good morning, Marietta.

Kennesaw State students held a press conference on Saturday to protest cuts to campus programs and demand that the administration reverse the proposed changes — they stressed the need for reconsideration of budget priorities.

Professors at Kennesaw State condemned the removal of three majors (including Black Studies) and joined students in calling for the programs' reinstatement during a virtual news conference on May 10.

The university said the decision came because the majors averaged fewer than 10 graduates per year (a figure that did not meet its criteria).

Marietta City Schools recognized fifty seniors today at their third annual 'Super 50' ceremony—an event honoring Marietta's best and brightest seniors.

KSU students and staff are urging the university to reinstate its identity centers and a Black Studies major as it plans to reimagine student support centers — they argue that the changes could weaken essential diversity initiatives.

Earthquake sensors in metro Atlanta picked up a 4.1 quake — just after 9 a.m. — and experts say Georgia’s rocks help carry seismic waves farther.

Six Flags White Water in Marietta opened its season on May 10 with a fancy Cabana Village that offers private cabanas, concierge service and a Lazy River—along with new food options including handspun milkshakes, freshly baked cookies and signature pizza.

Military Appreciation Days will run May 24–26 to give active-duty members and veterans free entry with discounted tickets available online.
