The Kent State Ashtabula Student Veterans Association is once again presenting the Field of Honor in memory of the September 11th tragedy. This year’s display has nearly 3,000 flags and will be displayed around the flag pole in the center of the campus.
The Student Veterans Association and volunteers placed the flags on Sunday, September 6th. The flags will stay on display on the campus until Sunday, September 13th. The community is invited and encouraged to come by and see the display.
Due to ongoing severe weather and dangerous conditions on and around campus, the Kent State Ashtabula Campus will close today at 3 p.m.
All scheduled events for this evening, including Commencement, are canceled. Other ceremonies may be rescheduled for a later date.
While disappointed we will not be able to hold these special events tonight, the safety of our campus community and those guests planning to visit campus and celebrate is our top priority.
Kent State University at Ashtabula will honor the fall graduating class when it holds the campus’s 79h commencement exercises on Thursday, December 12, 2024, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Susan J. Stocker Hall gymnasium.
“Commencement is a major milestone in the lives of our students,” said Dean and Chief Administrative Officer R. William (Bill) Ayres IV, Ph.D. “It’s such a special night to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of these graduates here on campus and in the familiar and intimate environment the event deserves.”
Together with the College of Applied & Technical Studies (CATS) and the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE), Kent State's Regional Campuses offer Talent Ready Scholarships up to $2,000. These scholarships, available through June 30, 2025, or when funds run out, will help local workers to enroll in specialized, industry-recognized certificate programs designed to open doors for career advancement.
