Advancing the legacy of May 4, 1970, a tragic day when the Ohio National Guard fired on Kent State University students during an anti-war protest on campus, killing four students, wounding nine students and forever changing the lives of countless others, the university will hold its annual commemoration May 3-4.
Kent State will hold the Jerry M. Lewis May 4 Lecture Series at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 3. The lecture and luncheon will take place in the Kent Student Center Ballroom and feature Erica Eckert, Ph.D., assistant professor, Higher Education Administration. Eckert will present “Where Were the Administrators? A Student Affairs Perspective on May 4, 1970.” This ticketed event is free and open to the public.
