Community & Society

To better understand the events that transpired at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, we must also understand the national tension and climate leading up to that day. A graduate student and two design students have demonstrated the context of May 4 in a stunning, creative visual exhibit.

It may be hard to imagine what the Kent campus looked like 53 years ago. With the May 4 Augmented Reality Experience, students and community members can be transported into the past to experience historical flashbacks and engage with Kent State’s previous generations.

A week-long fundraising plant event on campus will benefit the Herrick Conservatory. 

Bioblitz is an annual Kent State event that invites anyone to explore nature and collect data alongside a faculty expert. 

Between visiting the beautiful Kent State University campus and joining in on the fun in downtown Kent, there’s never a dull moment around here. Travelers from far and near find themselves drawn to the local shops, restaurants and activities.
