Kent State University has set an aggressive agenda for academic excellence across all areas of the university's Strategic Roadmap. The Kent State University Foundation Board of Directors supports this agenda fully and is committed to helping financially support the university's academic excellence. With this goal in mind, the Kent State Foundation is pleased to offer a systemwide grant program to all departments, schools, colleges, institutes and centers.
Since the holiday season calls for delicious and indulgent foods like pumpkin pie, candied yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, not surprisingly a person consumes an average of 3,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner – 1,000 over the recommended daily intake, according to Spoon University.
The average person gains six to 10 pounds over the holiday season, says Tanya Falcone, registered dietitian and nutritional outreach coordinator at Kent State University. This can lead to significant weight gain over the years that does not shed, even after the New Year.
The 2018 Learning Resources Network’s International Awards named Kent State University’s Center for Corporate and Professional Development as the “Best Brochure Design” for the center’s fall 2017/spring 2018 Catalog of Professional Development Offerings.
The Peace Basket Project gears up for its 21st year. The Professional Women of Kent State University started the Peace Basket Project in 1997, when a group of members created baskets of “little things” to share with the residents served by the King Kennedy Center. While the Professional Women of Kent State University is no longer active, this annual event continues with the support of members of the Kent State community.
Area residents who dread Christmas shopping but love giving and getting gifts are invited to a holiday shopping alternative — the Holiday Scavenger Hunt — in Kent beginning on Black Friday.
Those who successfully complete the scavenger hunt between Friday, Nov. 24, and Wednesday, Dec. 20, could win a $1,000 Hometown Bank MasterCard — just in time for the holidays.

The events of May 4, 1970, placed Kent State University in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Kent State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
