Faculty/Staff News Now

This Giving Tuesday season, Daniel E. Palmer, associate professor of philosophy, has generously pledged a matching gift for the Trumbull Campus Last Dollar Scholarship as a symbol of his appreciation for the Kent State Trumbull community, which he was a part of for more than 20 years. When faced with a decision between earning their degrees or dropping out of school during a crisis, this fund helps students stay on the path to graduation.

The Kent Campus bookstore is pleased to invite you to the following events this month. On Nov. 20, the Department of History hosts a book publication celebration to recognize the academic accomplishments of faculty, visiting scholars and affiliated scholars. Then, on Nov. 21, professors Peg Bobel and Linda Whitman (alumni ’78) host a book signing for their new book, "Native Americans of the Cuyahoga Valley." 

Want to show appreciation to your department staff? Have something to celebrate? Group discounts are available for all Kent State Athletic events starting at a minimum of 10 tickets! There are also opportunities to reserve the 3rd floor Loge overlooking the court in the MACC so you can host your group/event while having the best seats in the house. Catering is also available. Email Sallan_gst@kent.edu or call 330-672-8421 to reserve your tickets today.
