President Lefton Meets Kent State Alumni

Alumni and friends gathered at several receptions this fall to remember, reminisce and talk about the future of the university with Kent State’s 11th president, Dr. Lester A. Lefton.

The regional events were scheduled in Washington D.C and Pittsburgh, Pa. Lefton greeted alumni and shared his vision and priorities for Kent State University. He outlined the university’s defining characteristics as being academic excellence, a commitment to student success, access and affordability, and discovery and innovation. And, he emphasized, Kent State will continue to be a productive and proactive partner in the public good.

Additional regional alumni events will follow giving Lefton more opportunities to meet alumni and interact with the Kent State community. On Nov. 12, Lefton will visit New York, N.Y. In February, he will travel to Naples, Fla., on the 24th and later to Atlanta, Ga., on the 25th. A reception will be held in Chicago on April 3.

The events, sponsored by the Kent State Alumni Association, are open to all Kent State alumni. However, space is limited. Please call the Kent State Alumni Association at 1-888-320-5368 to make a reservation.
