Kent State Magazine
Kent State Magazine is Kent State University’s digital publication that presents essays and profiles highlighting alumni, faculty and student stories.
The publication is a collaboration between Kent State University’s Division of University Communications and Marketing and Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement.
Originally an alumni-only communication started in 1933, the magazine has evolved over Kent State’s history to become a university-wide publication from 2001 to the present.
Past Issues Online, 2005-Present
Kent State Magazine is now a fully digital publication available to read online-only, with the last print issue published in the spring of 2023. The online Kent State Magazine archive contains PDFs of issues from 2005-2015, with the exception of the summer issues from 2012-2014, and the digital only issues from 2023 to the present.
