Owl Expedition is a 3-day extended orientation program for first-year and transfer students held on both the Kennesaw and Marietta campuses. By attending Owl Expedition, students will build friendships, learn more about university resources, and engage in the KSU Community all while being led by experienced Extended Orientation Leaders (ELs).

Former students have described Owl Expedition as a “life-changing experience”. Our research has shown that students who participate in Owl Expedition are more likely to become active members in student life and pursue leadership roles in campus organizations.
