50th Commemoration Events Canceled

In accordance with the order of Amy Acton, M.D., director of Ohio Department of Health, to stay at home to slow the spread of COVID-19, and in the interest of the health and safety of the community, Kent State University regretfully announced the cancellation of the May 4 50th Commemoration Weekend events, scheduled to take place May 1-4, 2020.

A meaningful virtual May 4 Commemoration program honored and remembered Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder who were killed and nine other Kent State students who were wounded on May 4, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard fired on students during an anti-war protest.
