TECH IN A FLASH: Contacting Fellow Group Members using KSU Mobile

From The Division of  Information Technology's Story Team

Kent State goes above and beyond to help students prepare themselves for the professional world. That doesn’t just stop at providing resources like resume building and interview techniques in class: one of the most valuable resources is right in your pocket.

Like many students, senior Political Science major, Jesse Halmasy, understands the struggle of not being able to contact group members for class projects and assignments all too well. Halmasy says, “As a senior in college having your professor put you in contact with your classmates feels like they’re still holding your hand and helping you with small tasks that I am very capable of completing on my own.”

As someone who has a plethora of experience communicating with constituents and pulling contact information daily to not having access to a simple email was a little bit aggravating. My professors already have a large workload; the last they need is me pestering them for someone’s email.

“As a senior in college having your professor put you in contact with your classmates feels like they’re still holding your hand and helping you with small tasks that I am very capable of completing on my own.” 

As I was talking about my classes and some of the concerns I was having, my friend told me that I could contact my group members without having to go through a third party. I had never heard of KSU Mobile and had no clue how easy it was to find any information I needed, especially my classmate's email.

I was able to copy and paste the email address straight from KSU Mobile to my Outlook without having to sit down and open my computer. I feel like as students, juggling school and work having so many resources available on the go makes life feel more manageable.

Kent State is committed to supporting students' success, with KSU Mobile help available 24/7. From emails, news, and helpful links, KSU Mobile has it all and is constantly updating and improving to help students get even more support anywhere they are.
