IN A FLASH: Mindful Mayem

Delta Chi Car Smash

  Delta Chi fraternity's fourth Annual Car Smash in early May offered students a chance to de-stress before finals and contribute to a worthy cause. Held in a parking lot on campus, smashers donated $3 for 30 seconds of smashing or $5 for a full minute.   The event also featured a Fraternity and Sorority Strongman Competition. Proceeds benefited the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research.   Want to see one of YOUR photos in “IN A FLASH?” Submit your Kent State-related photos to InAFlash@kent.edu and you may see them in a future Kent State Today post...
