Students First
Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵAPP has entered into an agreement with the Turkmenistan Ministry of Education to begin exploring the possibility of creating an educational partnership with several national institutes of higher learning there. The effort is part of Kent State’s ongoing commitment to using education to foster global understanding and peace in a divided world.
For Taylor Pierce, her first experience in Kent State’s Columbus Program in State Issues turned out to be more than most people would expect. She spontaneously entered and won a contest. She met Ohio’s governor and lieutenant governor. And, she considered a new career path. Not bad for a few weeks in a new city.
It took three years, a move from California to Ohio, and several other bumps in the road. Still, recent Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵAPP graduate Vincent AhSam-Kreiter has achieved his goals of earning a bachelor’s degree, becoming a registered nurse and being a newly commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force.
Hundreds of Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵAPP students use bikes and scooters to get around the university's two hundred and fifty-three acres of land. With that in mind, keeping your bikes and scooters safe and available to you at any time is extremely important.
Think about a time you finished reading a book that provided a new meaning and connection to you. Now imagine that book that changed and shaped a part of you being banned, unavailable to new readers. The Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵAPP community joined for the fourth annual open mic night Read-In to discuss banning and challenging books.
Homecoming Weekend at Kent State came with a full schedule of events including a parade, alumni activities, a tailgate and a football game at Dix Stadium.
As part of the university's annual Parents and Families Appreciation Weekend, Kent State's Honors College presented a day of fun activities for their students and their families.
Kent State Today will be following a group of six Golden Flashes for the 2024-25 academic year, chronicling their efforts and successes during the fall and spring semesters. The group of students are at various places in their Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵAPP academic careers and will share their experiences throughout the year as they take part in our distinctive programs, research and global experiences.
