Confessions of a Golden Flash
Additionally, instructors and faculty members have the option to require or encourage students to attend a Confessions of a Golden Flash panel. During these panels, upper-class students share their real, lived experience as students at Kent State to provide peer-to-peer information, resources and guidance for first-year students who may share similar experiences. These panels help to foster connections between student panelists and attendees and provide students with tools to be more resilient as challenges arise. Students are asked to register in advance for a session that works with their schedule outside of class time.
