Mental Health

On the mental health website, you’ll find all mental health and well-being services that support the Kent State University community across our campus system and abroad. This site will help you identify resources for yourself or others and provides information on educational resources to enhance learning around mental health and well-being.

Knitting Beyond the Body

The exhibition began with conversations between the co-curators, KSU Museum Director Sarah J Rogers and Professor Linda Orn-McDaniel in the School of Fashion Design and Merchandising. Both are hand knitters and Ohrn-McDaniel is the force behind the School’s KnitLAB which has a 10-year partnership with industry leader Stoll by Karl Mayer. KnitLAB serves as one of the few such studios in the country at a state university and is located on the first floor of Rockwell Atrium.

I plan to ask three of my professors to write me letters of recommendation for graduate school. How do I ask them, and what should I expect of this process?

You should ask each recommender what their preferences are. Most will want to meet with you if they do not know you well, and perhaps even if they do. Most will want to review your resume or at least a list of your activities over the past few years. Some will ask to see a draft of your letter of intent. Writing a letter of recommendation is a careful and deliberate process for faculty.

If I am meeting with my SPA advisor, do I still need to meet with an EHHS advisor?

Yes. Set up an appointment with Ms. Stillwagon in the EHHS advising office. She will then initiate a GPS audit for you if you don't already have one, and review it carefully. It can always help to have a professional EHHS advisor spot any problems with non-major course requirements well ahead of graduation deadlines.

What do I need to do to enter the professional phase of the SPA major?

Students may declare their major in SPA upon entering Kent State University. Before taking advanced (junior level) SPA courses, students must apply for the professional phase of the major. The progression within the undergraduate program depends upon the student catalog year (the year the student entered Kent State University).

Students with a catalog year of 2013 and prior should apply for the professional phase of the SPA major when they have earned, or will earn by the end of the term, 45 credit hours and a GPA of at least 2.75.
