The world will never be less distracting than it is right now. Mindfulness practice involves changing attention habits. It uses ordinary perceptions to train your attention.
At a time when people are distracted by so much, it is important to stop and take a moment, or two, throughout the day to reflect on those items we are grateful for, big or small.
Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves and our community. 5X will participate in the Gratitude Graffiti Project for its second consecutive year. In 2017, there were more than 100 Gratitude Graffiti Stops at all Kent State campuses.

The 5X Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.
The events of May 4, 1970, placed 5X in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Kent State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
