Kent State Athletics’ vision is to be a nationally recognized, comprehensive athletics program that inspires communities and transforms lives. The landscape of Division I intercollegiate athletics is changing constantly, and the need for resources is at an all-time high. Philanthropy is integral to our innovative mindset in resource management, with a focus on sustainability and sound financial stewardship. In order for Kent State to become the nationally distinct university described in our strategic plan, it is imperative that we have the resources to focus on our mission to graduate student-athletes who are boldly prepared for life after sport, and win championships. Our goal is to increase our number of athletics endowments by 20 percent.
