Prioritizing Student Success

Kent State University students began moving into residence halls on the Kent Campus on Aug. 19, as part of a phased-in process that will continue over five days.
 

“The idea of Flashes taking care of Flashes means so much to me,” said Shelbee Stidom, ’22, about receiving an emergency grant. “This community has pulled through for me and my family.” 

“Being part of Rising Scholars taught me about career paths that I never would have thought of on my own,” said Morgan Briand, ’22. “Rising Scholars has changed my life.”

When the Ohio Department of Health sought help this summer for work on the COVID-19 pandemic response, more than 110 students from Kent State University’s College of Public Health raised their hands to volunteer.

During his 34 year tenure at Kent State University, professor Lawrence Marks, Ph.D., has been at the forefront of developing online classes, which have become an indispensable part of learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When Kent State University closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March, not all students living on the Kent Campus were able to leave.
