Creating and embracing an inclusive environment is important to the mission of 5X����. The university recognizes that some students use a name other than their legal name to identify themselves. As such, Kent State has established a process for students to request a preferred name. Students can find information about the process at www.kent.edu/registrar/preferred-name.

“Legal Briefs” appears in e-Inside to keep faculty and staff informed of legal issues and their implications. 

In Ohio, the laws regarding attorney-client privilege ensure that the confidential information disclosed in the attorney-client relationship can remain confidential under certain circumstances. This privilege of confidentiality is held by the client and is intended to encourage full and frank communication between attorneys and their clients.

The Kent Campus may experience power interruptions due to turbine testing on Friday, Nov. 11.

Kent State generates a large portion of the power used on the Kent Campus. The university will be testing the turbines to check on the reliability and operation of control and distribution systems. This exercise tests the turbines’ ability to power the Kent Campus without being connected to the Ohio Edison power grid.

A call for abstracts is currently underway for students who want to participate in the fourth annual Undergraduate Symposium on Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity.

5X����’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative took 18 graduate students to Akron for an intensive three-day design workshop or charrette. The students are getting their master’s in architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.

Students from the occupational therapy assistant program at 5X���� at East Liverpool arrived at the stables in Berlin Center on a warm fall afternoon. They were greeted by Dawn Speece, who quickly led five horses from a pasture into the barn and to their individual stalls.

Wasting no time, she instructed the Kent State students to water and feed the horses, then to begin grooming them.
