Workshops
Kent State University has a long history of fostering belonging throughout our entire community, and that work has important connections with and commitments to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our culture, policies, and pedagogies. This conversation will seek to clarify your questions and concerns around DEI-related work in our classrooms and campuses in light of new and emerging state legislation. We look forward to a robust and caring conversation around these important issues.

One of the most commonly desired learning outcomes for our courses is that students will be able to demonstrate critical thinking skills. How do we, as educators, provide intentional support for our students in learning these skills? Please join us in this interactive, virtual session where we will explore a range of strategies for teaching critical thinking skills.
Classroom assessment techniques (CATS) offer a real-time way for you to gauge student preparedness, comprehension, skills, and attitudes. In addition to exploring quick, easy strategies like minute papers or exit-tickets, we will explore more summative strategies including alternatives and helpful modifications to essay writing and multiple-choice examples.

Adapted from Stephen King’s short story “Nona,” “October Roses” is a movie following a down-on-his-luck professor who meets a beautiful woman while hitchhiking around Maine. He gets wrapped up in her web and makes decisions he normally wouldn’t make.
Join the director, Brandon Lazenko, ’16, and other alumni for a reception at 6 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Dining Room, complete with heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages before the campus premiere of his short film at 7 p.m. in the KIVA. After the movie, Lazenko will participate in a panel discussion with those who helped make this film successful, including special effects icon Robert Kurtzman, known for his work in “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Scream” and more. Gain insight on the process in which Lazenko received the rights to make this adaptation and how Kent State played a role in his career.
Not able to attend in person? The movie and panel discussion will also be livestreamed.

The photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio wailing over the body of fallen student Jeff Miller is one of the most memorable images related to events of May 4, 1970. The iconic photograph does not reflect the personality of the “cute hitchhiking kid” snapped by a teenage girl headed home from a concert in Cleveland. The exhibition Snapshots in Time: The Lives of Four Students provides snapshots of the lives, not the deaths, of Jeff Miller, Sandy Scheuer, Allison Krause and Bill Schroeder. They were brothers, daughters, students, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and much more. We hope that visitors can see a little bit of themselves through the exhibits and activities inspired by these students.
