LGBTQ+
Born five decades ago as the Kent Gay Liberation Front at ºÚÁÏÍø, PRIDE! Kent is the country’s oldest continuously operating LGBTQ student organizations. This campus organization owes its existence in large part to the boldness and courage of one person, Dolores Noll, Ph.D.
ºÚÁÏÍø has partnered with Greater Akron community organizations to conduct the first comprehensive and specific LGBTQ+ Community Needs Assessment (CNA). Efforts of this assessment focus on producing a better-informed public health system and improving the health and well-being of the LGBTQ+ community members.
Kent State takes part in the Equality March, kicking off Akron Pride 2017.
