KYLE MACON
Junior
Communication Studies 

His nominators, Jillian Mt. Castle and members of the CSI Team, had this to say about him:
“Kyle Macon, better known as DJ Smillz to many, is an excellent example of an outstanding Kent State University student. In every interaction with him, people leave feeling included, appreciated, and cared for. An example of this kindness was seen at an event hosted by the Flash Activities Board this semester. Kyle was participating in the skating rink and saw someone that was differently abled than he is that needed a little help. Kyle jumped right in to meet the student and see how he could support, which in turn allowed that student to participate more fully in the event. The joy that was evident in Kyle’s expression showed that he truly has a passion for creating community. 
 
We’ve also seen Kyle at many events throughout the semester in his role as DJ Smillz. No matter what is happening in the world, Kyle comes to every interaction with a smile on his face and says hello to everyone. Though this may seem like a small gesture, it really adds positivity to any event and is an act of leadership that does not go unnoticed. 

There is no one that we can think of that more consistently shows up for their community and would love to see Kyle recognized for all that he does for KSU.”
