Destination Kent State

It’s official: you are now a Golden Flash!

As a new student on a Kent State Columbiana County campus, we look forward to helping you reach your personal and professional goals. Destination Kent State (DKS) is a great way to help you navigate your way through the first few days – and your first semester – on our campus.

There are two important components to this event:
 

1.    Virtual DKS Webinar

Thursday, January 14 at noon

Virtual orientation

  • One hour webinar will include helpful information on class format, technology tips, success strategies and more
  • Meet our dean, Dr. David Dees


2.    Swag Stop  

Stop by either reception desk the first week of classes to get some Kent State Swag including a t-shirt and other fun items. We’ll also have informative handouts from the webinar presenters.

You only need to stop by ONE swag event and it is your choice. Pick the campus that is convenient for you!

Students who attend both the Zoom session and one Swag Stop will be entered to win a $500 scholarship!

For more information, reach out via email to infocolumbiana@kent.edu.
 

Is Destination Kent State required?

  • While DKS is not required, it is highly recommended.

Are CCP students required to attend?

  • CCP students are not required to attend; however, it is strongly encouraged! DKS is a great opportunity to prepare yourself for the upcoming school year by learning more about the technology you’ll be using and the services available to assist you during your academic journey.

Can I attend either DKS Swag Stop event?

  • Stop by either reception desk the first week of classes to get some Kent State Swag including a t-shirt and other fun items. We’ll also have informative handouts from the webinar presenters.

Will I have to a chance to meet one-on-one with my advisor to discuss questions about my schedule, major, etc?

  • We will not be taking appointments during the swag stop however, we will have business cards with contact information, making follow up easier! Your advisor is just an email away, and we are ready to help answer any of your questions. 

What if I am unable to attend either drive-through DKS?
