Dear Kent State University Faculty and Staff,
Welcome back from what I hope has been a great summer of rest and rejuvenation heading into the fall semester. I just enjoyed one of the best weekends of the entire year by welcoming thousands of incoming students and their parents during move-in and congratulating our new graduates at Saturday’s commencement ceremonies.
For me, it doesn’t get better than that.
Now, as our fall classes are set to begin later this week, I invite each of you to take part in a new monthly live video chat, Talking with Todd, where I’ll share updates from across our campuses along with insights into some of the strategic issues and opportunities before us here at Kent State and, very importantly, answer your questions via Teams Live.
Our first session will be at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30. Click Teams Live to join the session, where I’ll be chatting live from my desk, sharing an update on our Flashes Together effort to revise our strategic plan - A Strategic Roadmap to a Distinctive Kent State - and where I’ll be able to answer your questions.
I appreciate you taking a short break from your busy workday to join me for Talking with Todd. For those of you who are not able to attend, a recording will be made available after the session concludes.
Again, thank you for all you do to make our students successful, and I look forward to seeing you on our first Teams Live chat next Tuesday and on our campuses soon.
Sincerely,
Todd Diacon
President
