In this season of celebration and giving thanks, Salem native Lori Singer-Bare is grateful for being in the right place at the right time, again. 

Singer-Bare is finishing her first semester as a lecturer in the criminology and justice studies program at Kent State University at Trumbull and as an instructor at Kent State's Police Academy. 

Kent State University at Trumbull's Theatre Program hopes to discover the next generation of great playwrights, actors, and theatrical technicians. The Young Playwrights Festival has been revived for 2023. 

"Coming off of the pandemic slowed us down last year," Eric S. Kildow, professor and Theatre Director, said. "We know there are talented youth throughout our local communities and with the festival and scholarships, we hope to encourage them to take advantage."

Kent State University launched its monthlong celebration of philanthropy, Giving Tuesday, on Nov. 1. As Kent State’s most generous annual tradition, Giving Tuesday encourages the Golden Flash community to reflect on their experiences and help make the world Forever Brighter by shining their light of support on Kent State students.

Kent State University, in response to a request from Intel^®, will lead a network that includes 13 other Ohio higher education institutions now poised to prepare the workforce to make the small electronic devices that play a large role in our everyday lives.
