The holidays can bring sweet memories of family traditions and wish lists miles long, but the season is also a time when people reflect on what they have and what they can give to others. Kent State University just wrapped up its monthlong Giving Tuesday initiative, but that does not mean the giving season is over; it has only just begun.
You can give back in various ways this holiday season by gifting your time, money or items to those in need. Several campus and local organizations offer opportunities for you to give this holiday season.
The e-Inside newsletter will take a break between semesters. The Dec. 11 issue is the last one for the 2017 Fall Semester, and e-Inside will return on Monday, Jan. 15. Copy submissions for this issue should be emailed to einside@kent.edu by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
Thank you for reading and contributing to e-Inside.
Happy 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.
