Do you bike at Kent State — or want to? The Bicycle Advisory Committee wants your input! Help improve biking on and around campus by taking a quick <5 minute survey designed for students, faculty/staff, and community members. Your feedback matters! Thank you for helping make Kent State a more bike-friendly campus!

Now through Aug.10, join us Saturdays at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., or Sundays at 1 p.m., for a kayak ride down the Cuyahoga River. Meet at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center (or you can meet us at Kramer Fields—just let us know ahead of time!). From there, we will paddle to Brust Park in Munroe Falls. We will then take the shuttle back to the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. A staff member will be with you on the water for the entire trip. The trip is 4.0 miles long, beginner friendly, and no prior experience is needed. Registration is $30 per person.
