Kent State welcomes students from around the world as part of our diverse global community - a community that values the way international students and their contributions enrich our university experience for everyone.

The global block party was held outside Van Campen Hall, the home of Kent State's Office of Global Education, on the weekend before fall classes began as a fun kickoff to the semester.
