For Ryan Higgins, pizza isn't just food—it’s a passion. Whether he's perfecting the art of making it or simply enjoying a great slice, his love for pizza runs deep. It should come as no surprise to learn that Ryan’s Career and Community Studies concentration was food service.

One of Erin Hawley’s favorite memories at Kent State was singing at karaoke night. Staged by the Flash Activities Board, the event packs students into then Quaker Steak and Lube, now Tahini’s in The Rathskeller, where they belted out original tunes to the delight, or displeasure, of classmates. Erin’s favorite go-to ballads were original songs.

After graduating from Peters Township High School in Pittsburgh, Abigail “Abbey” Donina had to choose between two universities: Slippery Rock in Butler County, Pennsylvania, or Kent State. So, she did what most students do and toured both campuses. Abbey then toured the Kent Campus during the Career and Community Studies Open House.
