WPNI 50th Anniversary Celebration
- Off-Campus
Join fellow Kent State University alumni and friends at The National Press Club Thursday, April 27, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Washington Program in National Issues (WPNI) and the WPNI Class of 2023’s completion of the program.
Established in 1973, at the suggestion of Kent State alumna Frances Richardson, ’39, WPNI is a 15-week academic program held each spring semester in the most dynamic political environment in the world, Washington, D.C. The program provides an opportunity for junior and senior Kent State students from various academic disciplines to study national and international politics, culture and history, science and technology, and public policy with Kent State University faculty and Washington’s experts.
To honor WPNI’s milestone achievement, you are invited to an evening of festivities marking this half-century partnership between Kent State and Washington, D.C. For those able to attend, individual tickets and sponsorships are available. If you are unable to attend but wish to support WPNI’s important work, please consider making a gift to the WPNI fund.
Proceeds from the event will support students in the WPNI program.
