Dear Kent State University Faculty and Staff:
As we say farewell to summer and welcome another beautiful fall semester, we should be reminded that mental health issues are an increasing concern on college campuses. Kent State is committed to providing safe and secure environments at all locations within our community, and you can be a part of this effort. As a community, we must all be prepared to support our students through emotional distress, crises and other challenging situations by linking them to appropriate services and resources.
Dear Kent State University Community Members:
As we begin a new academic year, the Division of Information Services would like to remind everyone about the importance of protecting your Kent State email and FlashLine accounts. As you know, your FlashLine username and password are your keys to everything Kent State, and as such, it is of utmost importance that you ensure the security of this account by watching for email scams and phishing attempts.
Kent State University’s Division of Information Services has introduced a new “Message Me” functionality, which replaces the public-facing email address system for the online phone directory.

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.
