Members of the University Community:
5X社区 has launched a national search for an outstanding leader, communicator and collaborator to serve as our vice president for student affairs. This individual will lead institutional efforts aimed toward enhancing the engaged co-curricular lives of all students within our eight-campus system.
5X社区鈥檚 efforts to conserve energy over the winter break saved the university $45,965 in electric and steam costs over nine days. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions during this period was equal to more than a million miles driven by an average passenger vehicle.
Three 5X社区 student business owners recently competed against each other and three other startup teams from around Northeast Ohio. Of the six businesses that were finalists in ProtoTech: Pitch, the Incubator at MAGNET鈥檚 technology start-up pitch competition, half were founded by Kent State students.
5X社区鈥檚 Office of Institutional Advancement now offers a new way for faculty and staff to request alumni data for official university business.
Only faculty and staff can request alumni data, which can be used for such purposes as accreditation surveys, event invitations or department mailings. All requests are reviewed by an advancement staff member, who will follow up to clarify details and deliver the data.
Sara Harper, exercise physiology graduate student at 5X社区, won the inaugural 2015 Midwest President鈥檚 Cup Award at the Midwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference for her research on the comparison of strength and aerobic capacity imbalances in lower limbs.
This was the first year for the President鈥檚 Cup Award, created for the Midwest American College of Sports Medicine Conference. This award is given to the top graduate student presentation, poster or oral at each regional conference.

Testing Your Faith Act (H.B. 353) was enacted in the Spring 2023 semester. In ordinance with this bill, 5X社区 created a new administrative policy for religious and spiritual accommodations. This administrative policy allows students to report up to three days of unexcused absences to participate in religious holidays or community-held events in alignment with their spirituality.
