The University Office of Scholarships and Student Financial Aid at Kent State University is hosting a free webinar on how student loan debt holders working in public service can take advantage of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PLSF) Program. Hear from Sylvia Bustard, director of Student Financial Aid and Brenda Dillon, assistant director of Student Financial Aid to learn about the process, eligibility requirements, the steps to apply and how to use the PLSF tool. They will be sharing their expertise to help you understand more about this important benefit.

• Work full-time for a government agency or for certain types of nonprofit organizations
• Have Direct Loans (or have consolidated other federal student loans to qualify)
• Repay your loans on an income-driven repayment plan (note: under a limited waiver periods of repayment under any payment plan count)
• Make 120 qualifying payments on your federal loans
If you have more questions at the end of the webinar, Sylvia and Brenda will be available for a Q&A session.
The deadline to apply for the PLSF program is Oct. 31, 2022.
The exhibition The Print Club of Cleveland: Selected Presentation Prints includes 15 works in a variety of media by an impressive coterie of international artists, cultivated by a visionary organization. Founded in 1919 through the dedication of 16 collectors with a passion for prints, the Print Club of Cleveland reflects the prestige of the institution of which it is an affiliate, the Cleveland Museum of Art. Innovative in its inception, the club continues to enrich the museum’s world-class print collection and promote interest in the history of printmaking.
Fostering astute collecting among its 235 members, the Print Club has commissioned an annual presentation print since 1924. Yearly dues entitle each member to a presentation print, allowing for the amassing of an impressive personal collection. Masterful technique is the highest criterion in the commission, demonstrated in the works selected for the 2022 MAPC Conference exhibition. The technical virtuosity well serves compelling subject matter, as evident in the stark poignancy of Man (1975), a woodcut and color linocut by artist/activist Elizabeth Catlett; Yozo Hamaguchi’s tactile delicacy in his diminutive color mezzotint Papillon Rouge (1972); Thomas Hart Benton’s regionalist sentimentality in his lithograph Approaching Storm (1938); Henri Matisse’s laconic sinuous line in his etching Odalisque (1932); and Bridget Riley’s animated undulating waves of color in her monumental screenprint Elapse (1982), to mention only a few of the pieces on view.
All the Print Club of Cleveland presentation prints included in the 2022 MAPC exhibition testify to the conference’s overarching theme. Each work is the result of creative inquiry, technical expertise, and active imagination, fueling the power of the print as an instrument of commentary, a vehicle of experimentation, and an entity of beauty. The Print Club of Cleveland exemplifies the conference’s subthemes as well: revolutionary in its beginnings more than a century ago and resilient as it tracks into its second hundred years of supporting artists, promoting collecting, and celebrating printmaking.

Kent State will host a Juneteenth Jubilee on Saturday, June 18, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Manchester Field on the Kent Campus.
Established as a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth celebrates the courage and perseverance of Black Americans by observing the end of slavery in the United States and commemorates the day when the news of emancipation reached enslaved Black Americans in Texas. Juneteenth is an opportunity for all of us to acknowledge the history of our nation, honor the life and legacy of the Black American experience and reflect on the impact of slavery and progress toward racial equity.
This event is free and open to the public.
The Juneteenth Jubilee will include refreshments, special recognitions, vendors, live performances, music and dancing and it will showcase Black business owners to the community.
