GET INVOLVED WITH MARCHING GOLDEN FLASHES

Music education is the heart of what we do. In the Glauser School of Music, we train the next generation of music educators, scholars, performers and technology experts through 15 immersive undergraduate and graduate programs that ignite passion and stimulate curiosity.

From Western Classical and Jazz to the many African and Asian traditions, our nearly 30 ensembles annually welcome over 500 music majors, nonmajors and community members to learn, celebrate and perform the diverse music the world has to offer. Every summer, we host the Kent Blossom Music Festival in partnership with The Cleveland Orchestra to become a center of professional music training for over 40 highly skilled young artists from around the world.

Grants Accounting supports the administration of restricted funds by promoting accountability, compliance, and timely dissemination of accurate information.

The State of Ohio has asked state agencies, boards and commissions to maintain a 15 percent set-aside purchasing goal for eligible business operations and contracts. Kent State University aspires to achieve 15 percent as well; observing the importance of supporting growth in minority businesses. Different perspectives, backgrounds and ideas maximize returns.  Although each department is a steward of its own funds, we encourage minority participation in bid responses and other good or services purchases throughout the university.
