Study Abroad

Kent State's founding president was born on Jan. 8, 1867. His tireless dedication to the institution and its students is reflected in innovations that continue to propel Kent State University forward today. 

Kent State University Photographer Bob Christy and a handful of students spent more than six hours last July in Akagera National Park; the trip was near the end of the students' summer educational experience known as the Kigali Summer Institute, which explores the post-genocide reconstruction of Rwanda and issues related to peace and conflict in the context of the country’s history.    

Two new scholarships from Kent State's Office of Global Education aim make education-abroad experiences possible for all Kent State students.
