Lefton at the Franklin Square Deli to talk about downtown Kent. 鈥淚t was the famous turkey sandwich lunch meeting,鈥 he recalled.

Employees (Business Operations)
- In the event that there is inclement weather but Kent campus is not closed, employees should always use sound personal judgments regarding the safety of their travel when deciding whether or not to report to work.

My name is Ruth Morara and I am in the class of 2026. My major is Conservation Biology. I honestly feel more like Kent chose me than the other way around!

Within a couple of weeks, I was met with a plethora of financial aid; far higher than any offered by the other universities tha...
