Expanding University Initiatives

Two dozen students from seven different majors (including biology, fashion, architecture, environmental studies, and computer technology) worked in teams to create biodesign projects.

 The Roe Green Foundation donated $2.2 million to support The Roe Green Visiting Director Series within Kent State’s School of Theatre and Dance that invites a guest professional director each year to work in residency with students.

The Design Innovation Hub connects students, faculty and the community to a network of existing spaces, or DI Nodes, makerspaces and resource laboratories across the university. 

While a student-athlete, Bill Asbury fell ill with acute renal failure; Kent State supported him then, and now Bill and wife Deborah support current Golden Flash student-athletes.
