We are determined to help end Alzheimer’s by raising funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. Join us this year by participating in The Longest Day Door/Window Decorating Contest! Team up with your department and decorate a door or window with the theme "Summer Solstice: Outshine the Darkness." A $25 donation per department is required to participate.

Interested in the operations of airplanes and drones? Eager to learn about safe drone flying practices, the FAA's Small UAS Rule (Part 107), and how to obtain your Remote Pilot Certificate? Curious about drones' campus applications and the legal aspects of flying them? Join our workshop tailored for the Kent State community, hosted by the College of Aeronautics and Engineering: “Drones: Toy, Tool, or Airplane? Coexisting with Planes.”

You may notice that some trainings for faculty and staff are marked with "BC." Two hours of Beyond Compliance (BC) training are required of all staff every fiscal year, and strongly encouraged for Tenure Track/Full-Time Non Tenure-Track faculty. This initiative keeps the university compliant with Title IX of the federal Education Amendments of 1972, and The Campus SaVE Act, part of the 2013 reauthorized Violence Against Women Act.
