Faculty/Staff News Now

Faculty and staff are invited to join students for Dinner with Friends, a recurring dinner series hosted by the Center for Student Involvement designed to foster meaningful conversation and connection across the Kent State community. Two Dinner with Friends programs will take place in September: Thursday, Sept. 24, in person, and Tuesday, Sept. 29, virtually via Zoom. Co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Government, the program creates a welcoming space to share a meal, listen deeply, and build relationships across campus roles and perspectives.

Get over $80 in added value when you renew your Faculty & Staff (FAST) Meal Plan or over $35 in added value when signing up for the first time! When you dine on campus, you’re doing more than grabbing lunch or bringing your family to dinner—you’re creating meaningful, informal connections with students and colleagues outside the classroom, strengthening our campus community and reinforcing a truly student‑centered environment.

Kent Chorus is comprised of students, staff, faculty and community members who have previous choral experience and a desire to engage in meaningful music-making with others. Kent Chorus frequently collaborates with other choral ensembles and the KSU Orchestra. Rehearsals begin on Aug. 25. New singers are welcomed for the first two weeks of each semester. No audition is needed. Rehearsals are every Tuesday from 7:15-9:45 p.m.
