Communications

The university has many resources available to communicate with faculty and staff. These include:

  • e-Inside – This is the official communication source for Kent State faculty and staff. The weekly electronic employee newsletter is sent to all employees via e-mail each Monday at their “kent.edu” e-mail address. It also can be accessed anytime online at http://einside.kent.edu. Materials for publication review should be submitted to einside@kent.edu.
  • e-Inside Special Edition – This is for employee news of an urgent nature that must be communicated within the week and prior to the next regular edition of e-Inside.
  • e-Inside Management Update – This monthly newsletter is e-mailed to managers at the beginning of each month. It is designed specifically for news that managers need to know and/or information that should be shared with employees.
  • University Mass Mailing (FlashLine Message) – This is for critical information that must be communicated immediately, such as campus closings or security issues. 
  • FlashLine Postings - The FlashLine portal customizes content, making postings specific to students, faculty and/or staff. Messages may be posted to faculty, staff and/or students in the Personal Announcement channel of the My Campus tab.
