Parents & Families Association
We know you are excited about your student’s experience. Do you also feel the need to create your own connection and communication with campus? We understand. That’s why we invite you to become members of the new Parents and Families Association and build your own network with other Kent State parents.
We welcome all parents, grandparents and guardians to get involved. Your support will always be the best way to promote your student’s success.
