The faculty, staff and students of Kent State University at Ashtabula wish you a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year! ...
They had planned to wear caps and gowns with their peers and to hear their names called during commencement at the MAC Center. However, the Kent State Golden Flashes' acceptance of a bowl bid out of state quickly derailed that plan. While they couldn't be in two places at once, especially considering Boise, Idaho, is more than 2,000 miles from Kent, these graduates still got their moment to shine. In all, 11 students -- six football players and five student workers -- were honored with a special ceremony Dec. 19 to receive their diplomas from Provost Melody Tankersl...

With an infectious smile and overwhelming positivity, it's easy to see why Vance stands out as a person who cares deeply about helping others. A two-time Academic All-MAC reci...
The first showdown of Kent State's offensive and defensive units ahead of Tuesday's bowl game came not in pads and helmets but in hairnets and aprons.

With blaring rock music creating an upbeat, competitive atmosphere that included a bell ringing each time a new box was fil...

Finals week is always full of studying, so our first question asked our followers what their favorite study spot was, either the Library or the CUE. The vast majority chose the Library!  ...
