We are coming to the end of another year. What has gone well and what would you like to change? Are you trying to "survive" the holiday season or is there joy in the preparation and experience? Perhaps you have experienced loss in the past year or feel a sense of discouragement only more pronounced by the holiday season.
Please join our Dec. 8 Lunch and Learn, when we will explore stress, goals, life transition, managing the holidays and preparing for a new year with optimism and expectation!
Anyone who missed the chance to "Know Your Numbers" during the Open Enrollment and Wellness Fairs held on each Kent State University campus has one more opportunity on Dec. 10 from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. Register today while appointments are still available.

The Kent State University Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.
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.
