IN A FLASH: A Grand Kent State Welcome

Convocation 2024

 

For incoming first-year and transfer students, the fall semester at Kent State begins with Convocation. Students packed Kent State's MACC (Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center) for a rocking rally with strobe lights, rally towels, Golden Flash cheerleaders and the Marching Golden Flashes band.

The day's events included a parade of university staffers sprinting through a giant head of Flash the Mascot and welcome messages from President Todd Diacon, Ph.D., and other university administrators, faculty and staff.
