Faculty and staff are invited to join students for Dinner with Friends, a new recurring dinner series designed to foster meaningful conversation and connection across the Kent State community. The first Dinner with Friends will take place Thursday, Feb. 26, from 6–8 p.m. in the Schwebel Room of the Kent Student Center. Co-sponsored by the Kent State Votes coalition and Undergraduate Student Government, the program creates a welcoming space to share a meal, listen deeply, and build relationships across campus roles and perspectives.
