Kennesaw State lab serves as hub for undergraduate research, scholarship
August 27, 2025
In Andrew Haddow鈥檚 office, a white board sits adjacent to his desk scrawled with notes indicating dates for scholarship deadlines, summer program applications, and progress on lab work. The assistant professor of microbiology said it鈥檚 all in service to his students, a color-coded guide to map success in the classroom, and as a researcher. Haddow joined KSU in 2021 after serving as a senior scientist for General Dynamics based at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). Since then, his lab has become a hub of student success. Each year, it hosts several high-level undergraduate research projects, often serving as a springboard for students to continue toward graduate studies.

Double Owl Pathways propels Kennesaw State student toward recognition in neuroscience research
July 18, 2025
Lindsey Knight鈥檚 fascination with scientific research began at a young age. As a 9-year-old, she participated in a science enrichment program that exposed her to the brain of a sheep. It was then, after learning about how the brain and the organism develop together, that she saw her destiny in neuroscience. An interest that started early continued at Kennesaw State, where she studies neuroscience while pursuing a Master of Science in Integrative Biology through the Double Owl Pathways program.
