Intercollegiate Athletics
Kent State Athletics’ vision is to be a nationally recognized, comprehensive athletics program that inspires communities and transforms lives. The landscape of Division I intercollegiate athletics is changing constantly and the need for resources is at an all-time high. Philanthropy is integral to the program’s innovative mindset in resource management, with a focus on sustainability and sound financial stewardship. More resources are needed to focus on its mission to win championships and graduate student-athletes who are prepared for life after sport.
