Kent State's annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is one of the university's biggest research events of the year.

Kent State is already among 2023’s Best Online Programs, and those programs are working hard to continue changing the conversation about online degrees and demonstrating their value.

Most teacher training programs today utilize classroom videos to train future teachers. Many of these videos are recorded from a single focus set at the back of a classroom. This form of video often makes it hard for viewers to interpret students' reactions or understanding of a subject matter. Three professors are developing a solution to this issue through the use of extended reality (XR) technology and 360 video.

Students can try samples of gluten-free and plant-based foods at a vendor showcase today.

Here at Kent State, we celebrate Student Employee Appreciation Week and dedicate this week to celebrating and recognizing on-campus student employees.
