KENNESAW, Ga. — Pamela Whitten, president of Kennesaw State University since 2018, announced she is leaving the position for a college presidency in Indiana.
In a letter to students and faculty Friday morning, The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia announced that Whitten has accepted the position to be the president of Indiana University.
“The opportunity to serve as president of Kennesaw State University over the past three years has been one of the highlights of my career,” Whitten said. “I am honored to have served alongside a dedicated group of faculty and staff who each day deliver on the promise of putting our students first. KSU is a tremendous institution providing world class instruction, and I am proud of the many accomplishments we have achieved during my tenure.
