The Peak Information

The Peak is proud to serve as a voice for the students of Kennesaw State University. We provide students with news, entertainment, and educational and editorial content directly related to their lives and lifestyles, via printed and electronic mediums. The Peak is the most recent rendition of a publication written for the college students originally of Southern Polytechnic State University and now Kennesaw State University. The Peak has had a colorful history, with its first issue published in September 1948 under the name The Technician. It has undergone several name changes since then: The Engineering Technician (beginning with the issue of February 20, 1964); Whatsizname? (beginning with the issue of September 24, 1973); Southern Seeds (only one issue on October 15, 1975); Unnamed (with two issues beginning October 22, 1975); and finally The Sting (beginning with the issue of November 5, 1975). With the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University in January 2015, student publications were integrated, and The Sting was consolidated with the KSU Lifestyle magazine and renamed The Peak, beginning with the September 2016 issue. While our name has changed over the years, our dedication to our scholars and their interests and lifestyle has not. The Peak's chapter has been relatively short, but we have made great strides in our tenure, and have great plans for our future. The Peak is interested in bridging the students of KSU and the local Marietta and Kennesaw communities, so we are constantly looking for local businesses, events, and individuals to work with.
