On January 20, Kent State University welcomed over 120 college students from across the region to its “Golden Flash Legal Clash,” a two-day collegiate mock trial invitational held in the Kent Student Center. Proceeds from the event helped to raise funds for future events that Kent State’s Mock Trial teams plan to attend. The 10 student teams, including some from out-of-state, competed in four rounds. Teams from Case Western Reserve University finished first and second with third place going to a team from William & Mary. The opening and closing ceremonies were held in the Kent State Governance Chambers. 

Professor Emeritus Richard Feinberg shared images from his research expeditions to the Polynesian island of Anuta.

With the eclipse fast approaching and many Golden Flashes taking a new look at the moon, sun and stars, Kent State Today is taking a look back at the day the country's most well-known astrophysicist came to campus and wowed a capacity crowd with insights into what's really going on outside of the earth.

Since she was a child, Caitlyn Skilton, a recent graduate of the zoology program at Kent State University, has harbored a passion for ecology, with a deep love for birds of all kinds. She chose to extend this love in her undergraduate work at Kent State. On December 1, Skilton, who also minored in photojournalism, hosted a reception for her “Flight of the Chimney Swift” immersive multimedia exhibit in the Design Innovation (DI) Hub’s Blank_Lab. 

An online presentation on Dec. 14 will explore the benefits and cautions of artificial intelligence in international peacemaking.
