Alumni and Giving
We engage and inspire alumni, friends and partners to connect with and give through Kent State - transforming the lives of our students and creating an impact throughout our communities. Whether you want to reconnect with classmates, attend exclusive events, mentor students or contribute to the causes that mean the most to you, there’s a way for every Golden Flash to make a difference.
Our month-long Giving Tuesday campaign runs from Nov. 1 - Dec. 1, and it's all about coming together as students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends to show the power of generosity. We all have a reason to give. Maybe you want to help students earn their degree, or fuel groundbreaking research. Maybe you want to create a stronger community or honor a loved one with a memorial gift. Whatever your reason... it matters.
