Commencement is an exciting event that often can be both a bittersweet end and an exciting new beginning. This weekend the next group of Golden Flashes will walk across the stage into the next chapter of their lives.
Just because your educational journey is over (at least for now), it doesn’t mean you can’t keep up with your alma mater. After all, you are #FlashesForever!
The Kent State Alumni Association has a chapter for everyone. There are eight chapters across the country along with three special interest chapters -- band members, black alumni and LGBTQ -- to stay connected to the Kent State family. The Alumni Association has a ton to offer, including networking events, traveling opportunities, discounts and rewards.
We’ve compiled a list of ways to stay in touch with your fellow former Flashes on social media.
