KSU Kickoff has many required events for new first-year students. This includes students living on campus or commuting. New transfer students are strongly encouraged to attend KSU Kickoff events as well.  

You can connect with the Center for Student Involvement by calling 330-672-2480 or emailing csi@kent.edu. The CSI office, located in Suite 120 of the Kent Student Center is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. You can also follow CSI on Instagram @CSIKent.

Attending your assigned check-in for KSU Kickoff is imperative to having a successful welcome week experience. At your check-in, you will meet with an assigned student Peer Success Mentor who will go over the basics of the KSU Kickoff mobile app, schedule of welcome events, your first Flashes 101 course, information on a variety of campus resources, and taking any of your questions.

Go to the schedule on this app and look for events that say “Required” in the information about each event.

All first-year students should use the KSU Kickoff app during the welcome week experience. The KSU Kickoff app, which is a totally separate app from KSU Mobile, will guide you through the welcome week experience and will keep you informed of important updates during your first week on campus.
