July Update from the President

Dear Members of the Kent State University Community:

It is hard to believe we have crossed the threshold into the 2018 fiscal year; time is flying by this summer! The campus is alive with the energy and enthusiasm of students and parents participating in Destination Kent State, and we are seeing exciting news from our faculty-led education-abroad programs as our students post photos from China, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Following months of planning and communication, we have taken another bold step toward being the healthiest campus in America by becoming a smoke-free, tobacco-free campus. As we celebrate the accomplishments and success of our faculty and students this spring and prepare to welcome a bright new freshman class this fall, I want to share a number of updates, including the impact of the state budget decisions on Kent State.
