Destination Kent State Advising and Registration Program Returns

Kent Campus

Flashguides, a group of diverse and fun-loving students, serve as mentors to new students during the Destination Kent State Advising and Registration program. Twenty-four students make up this year's Flashguides class.

Destination Kent State has returned! The summer advising and registration program at �� is a one-and-a-half-day experience that includes an overnight stay in a residence hall. Students are encouraged to invite family members and guests to participate in the program.

The students explore important topics, including the differences between high school and college, navigating the university and properly preparing to be a college student. Family members and guests learn about essential tools for a positive college experience, such as financial aid, academic success tips and support skills for being the parent/family member of a college student.

The program concludes on the second day when the students meet one-on-one with an academic advisor to create an academic plan.

This year, advising and registration sessions are being scheduled between June 6 and July 20 with a break the week of July 4.
