Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students K.C. White is leaving the University for Kennesaw State University in Georgia, where she will become the Vice President for Student Affairs.
“I’ve had a tremendous experience at LSU,” White said Monday night. “I have only fond memories of LSU, working with the faculty, staff, students and alumni. I’ve experienced great advancement opportunities here.”
White, a native of Ormond Beach, Florida, said the opportunity is a logical progression in her career path and also will bring her closer to family in Florida. She’s no stranger to Georgia, having worked at Mercer University before obtaining her doctoral degree.
Both White and University media relations director Ernie Ballard confirmed she will leave July 1.
In a new vice presidential role, White will report to Kennesaw State president Daniel Papp and serve on Papp’s leadership cabinet. In late 2013, Kennesaw State and Southern Polytechnic State University consolidated to form one university, which debuted in the fall 2015 semester, something White said she was excited to see and termed “cutting edge.”
White first came to the University in 2002 from Samford University and served as the associate dean of students. During her first years, she co-advised Student Government and established a leadership training program,
LeaderShape. 
In 2005, White served as interim assistant vice chancellor and dean of students, overseeing the offices of Campus Life, Disability Services, Greek Life and Student Advocacy and Accountability. White remained SG adviser after her position changed. 
She took on her current role as associate vice chancellor and dean of students in 2008. 
White has experience in university student affairs at Florida State University, University of Miami, University of South Carolina, Samford University and Mercer University.
