Students coming to Kent State and, for some of them, living away from home for the first time can struggle with the transition. The transition can even be more difficult for LGBTQ+ students, particularly for those who have recently "come out." Ken Ditlevson, director of Kent State's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Kent to support them.

Kent State and the city of Kent encourage people to attend any of the LGBTQ+ events on campus and downtown this week. 

Kent's Main Street Bridge has been accumulating expressions of love for nearly a decade. 

The ºÚÁÏÍø Hotel and Conference Center is celebrating 10 years of being at the heart of a transformed downtown. 

The first "Flashes First Thursday" welcomes students to experience the shopping, dining, music and more that make downtown Kent a fun place to visit.

A federal grant will help restart a major improvement project for a highly trafficked area of downtown Kent. Changes to East Main Street will include wider sidewalks, bike and pedestrian paths and crossings, and two roundabouts.

Sudden cardiac arrest, when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, is the leading cause of natural death in the United States. To help people survive from sudden cardiac arrest, the city of Kent has partnered with ºÚÁÏÍø and University Hospitals Portage Medical Center to offer PulsePoint Respond.

For more than 55 years, leaders from ºÚÁÏÍø and the city of Kent have met over breakfast to foster successful collaboration between the university and the city.

ºÚÁÏÍø President Beverly J. Warren, emeritus artist and educator of Pan-African Studies E. Timothy Moore and head football coach Sean Lewis will serve as the guest speakers at the fall 2018 Bowman Breakfast.
