Welcome to the Office of Institutional Advancement for the College of Education, Health, and Human Services.  We know that choosing to support a cause is a very personal decision. Your support will enhance the educational experiences of our students while funding projects and initiatives that have personal meaning for you.  Whether you would like to make a gift directly to the College of EHHS or to a specific program, endow a student scholarship, fund a graduate assistantship, or enable students to study abroad, we are here to assist in the process.

Our office provides a wealth of opportunities to give back to KSU. Methods of support vary depending on what works for you and your family and include more than contributions.  Donations of appreciated securities, real estate, bequests, trust or annuities are all effective ways to support Kent State University. We have a host of information to help you make the choice that works for you.

Please feel free to contact us for assistance or to answer any questions you have. We enjoy hearing from alumni and look forward to working with you. If you have a few minutes, update your contact information with KSU.
