Kent State Magazine is available online in digital editions, as well as downloadable PDFs of the print editions, beginning with Spring 2015. In Fall 2023, the magazine stopped being printed and mailed and there are no longer downloadable PDFs in the digital edition.
Print editions prior to 2015 are available here as downloadable PDFs. (Note that summer issues for 2012, 2013, 2014 were app only and the app is no longer supported. So, unfortunately, the PDFs of those issues are not complete.)
Print editions of the magazine prior to 2005 can be viewed, in hard copy, by special request through the Special Collections and Archives of Kent State University Libraries.
