Student Presenters

Kent State students present their research both on campus and across the country. The university provides funding whenever possible to offset the costs of travel for students to present their research at conferences and other events.
While funding is limited, we take pride in helping our undergraduate and graduate scholars make connections and contribute to their fields and their respective academic and professional communities.

These students are among the most recent to receive travel awards to present their research.
