Academic S.T.A.R.S. (Freshman)

Academic S.T.A.R.S. (Students Achieving and Reaching for Success) is a cultural transition and retention program designed for newly admitted African American, Latinx American, Hispanic, Native American and multiracial freshmen. The program helps prepare students to achieve academic success, enrich their college experience and explore their cultural heritage. As a result of participating in the program, we hope students will: develop academic, personal, professional and social skills; establish a community with peers, faculty and staff at Kent State University; and enrich their cultural identity and self-awareness.
