Student Spotlight: Sarah Hayden
Meet Sarah Hayden!
鈥淲hen I began the college search process as a transfer student, I knew I did not want to go into a big city to get a degree in fashion. I wanted to have a great college experience however, I still wanted to get a degree from a world-renowned program,鈥 said Sarah. Kent State was the right fit for Sarah鈥檚 goals. The School of Fashion requires students to study abroad, obtain internships and select a minor. These requirements give students the tools to succeed in their field.
