In This Together

The definition of community often includes words such as shared goals, common interests and connected needs – and this is the case when we consider our collective community with the City of Kent and Kent State University. 

"The realities of the COVID-19 pandemic call on us to consider the needs of our joint community now more than ever as our coordinated efforts will ensure the safety and success of all members. We are truly in this together and encourage every member of our collective community to follow the Flashes Safety Protocols, local health guidance and common-sense consideration for each other." - President Todd Diacon

As part of our commitment to be good neighbors, the university is making various testing options available and known to the university community. We realize that when individuals know their status, they can take proper actions to protect others on campus and in the community.
