Completing one's dissertation is the ultimate academic accomplishment, but creating dedicated time to concentrate solely on writing can be difficult. The Division of Graduate Studies is committed to doing whatever it takes to help you succeed. In doing so, we’re excited to offer Dissertation Boot Camp Weekend Retreats during the academic year. This boot camp inspired retreat has been developed to provide you with a distraction-free weekend so you can remain focused on your writing!
Our program has been developed to help provide you with a quiet space so you can remain focused on your writing and the opportunity to network with other colleagues working on their dissertations. Plus, we will be providing you all of your meals in one place, so you don't have to break your focus by leaving to eat. The program is hosted in room 330 of the University Library and students can study in computer labs (rooms 333 and 334) and conference room spaces (rooms 320, 352, and 365). Learn more about Dissertation Boot Camp.
The price for Kent State graduate students will be $30 for two days or $20for one day. Register for the March Dissertation Boot Camp now.

Since 2009, alumni and friends have come together to uplift their local communities and those in our Golden Flash family during a day of service. Helping others is what we do at Kent State, and we have transformed that one day of service into a weeklong initiative to give back where it matters most!
When Flashes Give Back, we shine brighter together. From April 18-23, alumni and friends will volunteer to make a difference for our communities and Kent State University. This year, there are a variety of in-person and virtual volunteer opportunities to choose from! Volunteers that can’t make it to any of our scheduled opportunities can also participate by telling us how they give back through Share Your Project.
Sign up for a volunteer opportunity or share your own service project by Sunday, March 20 to receive a free Flashes Give Back Week T-shirt!
