Flowery Lunchtime Walk and Talk

See the vibrant colors of annual flowers in bloom across the Kent Campus on Thursday, July 14, at noon. One of the knowledgeable employees from University Facilities Management will lead this walk.

Walk and Talks are a great opportunity to get some exercise, meet your co-workers and learn and see more of our beautiful campus.  

Meet at the Black Squirrel statue between the University Library and the Kent Student Center at noon. The walk will begin at 12:10 p.m.

No registration is required. Comfortable shoes are encouraged.
