Parents
At Kent State, your student will receive academic support, real world experience, exposure to a diverse and inclusive campus culture, and the philosophy that new ideas matter. We're dedicated to your student's success, and we recognize that your involvement is key to their future development.
As members of the Kent State community, we encourage you to learn about college life, be informed about what's going on at campus, and find important offices on campus. Also, feel free to show your student how much you care by sending a care basket or an e-postcard.
