Kent State University is currently offering Aflac’s Group Accident, Group Critical Illness and Group Hospital Indemnity insurance to employees through Nov. 30, 2016.
While major medical insurance pays for doctors and hospitals, Aflac is insurance that pays cash benefits directly to you. It provides predetermined benefits that are paid regardless of any other insurance you have. And it fits most budgets — rates don't go up when you file a claim.

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.
