Destination Kent State is for Parents and Families Too!
The office of Student Success Programs (SSP) is here to see both students and their families through the Destination Kent State (DKS) New Student Orientation experience. All new students are required to register for and attend DKS this summer. It is strongly encouraged and recommended that parents and families attend orientation with their student. During the registration process for the August one-day program, students will not register any desired parent, family members, or guests - just make sure to arrive with your student at check-in!
