In the weeks leading up to Kent State University Decision Day on June 1, incoming students were encouraged to participate in our #FutureFlashes Instagram contest.
Many students posted photos and selfies on Instagram tagging @KentStateAdmissions while letting us know why they chose Kent State using hashtag #FutureFlashes.
Winners received a KSU prize pack of a Kent State t-shirt, black squirrel plushie, lanyard, pennant flag, sunglasses and much more!
