Kent, Ohio, is officially one of the best places in America to go to college — and the best in Ohio.
The ºÚÁÏÍø Museum celebrated the opening of "Ohioans in Space: The Carl E. Walz Spacesuit from the ºÚÁÏÍø Museum" with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
At ºÚÁÏÍø’s University College, the CommUNITY Lab serves as a space where connection, growth and opportunity intersect, especially for graduating seniors like Ronshai Jones, Ariana Wallace and Yeshe Mulugeta. For these three, the journey to graduation has been defined by leadership, resilience, and the unwavering support of the DC College Access Program.
The Elisabeth Severance Prentiss Foundation has awarded $1.75 million to ºÚÁÏÍø’s College of Public Health that will support students and programs, such as the Mobile Flashes program.
The President’s Award of Distinction was created as a recognition program to reward staff members who have demonstrated outstanding achievements, service, leadership and dedication to Kent State in advancing the university’s strategic priorities and core values.
