Parents & Families Appreciation Weekend

What is Parents and Families Appreciation Weekend?

Parents and Families Appreciation Weekend is all about celebrating the spirit of family! It’s an opportunity to create lasting memories with your student. Throughout the weekend, you’ll find a variety of events designed to help you bond with your favorite Golden Flash student while enjoying Kent State traditions and exciting family-friendly programming. Whether you're reliving cherished moments or making new connections, this weekend is all about celebrating your role in the Kent State community! 

Each year, over 1,000 families and Kent State students come together to participate, and for that, we extend our heartfelt THANK YOU
