Nationally Distinctive

Tonight, the annual candlelight walk and vigil continues a 53-year tradition as part of this week's May 4 Commemoration.

Kent State University will hold its 54th annual commemoration honoring the memory of May 4, 1970, a tragic day when the Ohio National Guard fired on Kent State students during an anti-war protest on campus, killing four students, wounding nine others and sparking a turning point in American history.

Cleveland native and celebrity Chef Kenny Gilbert was invited to campus by University Culinary Services to prepare and serve a few of his signature southern-style dishes on April 25 at Eastway Center. 

Fashion photographer Pauline St. Denis has experiences, skills and advice to share about her storied professional career. Luckily for the students in Kent State University’s School of Fashion, St. Denis made time to talk and work directly with students as part of this year’s Annual Fashion Week.

The famed British designer nicknamed "the Princess of Punk," Dame Zandra Rhodes, will be inducted into the Kent State School of Fashion Hall of Fame on April 27. 

Kent State University took a moment to honor the faculty, staff and students whose accomplishments help to lift the university to higher heights.

A sea of silk and satin, leather and lace floated down the runway as Kent State University’s Annual Fashion Show debuted to an enthusiastic crowd filling the Kent Student Center Ballroom Thursday night.

Cleveland-born celebrity chef Kenny Gilbert is preparing some of his signature classic dishes for students at Eastway Center.

The idea was simple: Physically connect people with the locations of the May 4, 1970, Kent State University shootings so they might better connect with each other.

Students from Kent State's School of Fashion were able to showcase their designs digitally, by clothing avatar models, for a runway show on floor-to-ceiling, wraparound screens at the DI Hub's Blank Lab.
