An explosion occurred on June 21 in the historic building that housed the Paris American Academy, where nine Kent State students, plus faculty and staff, were located. The nine students were away from the building at the time of the blast.
News reports indicate a gas leak may be to blame for a blast that sent more than two dozen people to the hospital.
The students arrived in Paris on June 1 for a summer fashion class scheduled to end on June 28. After the blast, the students returned home a few days early.
Kent State is working with the municipality of Paris to secure a space to resume classes. Further, the university remains committed to its partnership with the Paris American Academy and continuing its long-term presence through education-abroad programming in Paris.
