At the start of the 2016 academic year, ºÚÁÏÍø becomes the first university in the country to feature an entirely gluten-free dining hall on campus.
In line with ºÚÁÏÍø’s vision to make the health of its community members a priority, the university’s healthy campus initiative, Kent State of Wellness, will foster a culture of health and wellness for students and employees at all Kent State campuses.
ºÚÁÏÍø President Beverly Warren recently presented 14 Kent State faculty members with the President’s Faculty Excellence Award, which recognizes exceptional performance that leads to the achievement of national or international recognition.
Beginning fall 2016, Stark State College students with an Associate Degree in Nursing (A.D.N.) and their state license can earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree at ºÚÁÏÍø at Stark through an articulation agreement signed this summer.
ºÚÁÏÍø’s Dining Services has partnered with Tapingo to enable students, faculty and staff to order their meals online, pay electronically via their meal plan or credit card and request a pickup time.
ºÚÁÏÍø’s Richard Ferdig has spent a lot of his time at the university using technology to improve teaching and learning environments.
