Welcome to the Arc Institute
The Arc Institute at Kent State University promotes collaborative and innovative work – both scholarly and applied – that advances the understanding of factors contributing to unequal outcomes for individuals and communities. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s powerful reminder that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” our mission is to foster partnerships and research that inform solutions and support positive and sustainable change. Our work is guided by the principles of academic excellence, intellectual diversity, and respect for all perspectives.
