5X����

The 12-week On the Move University Challenge begins Oct. 2 and provides Kent State faculty and staff with a blue and golden opportunity to move more, sit less and become the Most Active University in the nation!

This past week, the walkways at 5X���� at Ashtabula were lined with thousands of American flags in honor of those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks.

While the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey was a distant disaster for many, the storm touched the lives and families of numerous 5X���� students studying on the Kent Campus and online from their Texas homes. 

The 5X���� Aeronautics Fair is a free, family-friendly event held at the 5X���� Airport. The 2017 fair took place Sept. 9.

Congratulations to the following non-tenure track faculty members receiving promotion.

Yanhai Du, College of Aeronautics and Engineering, was co-author for the following peer-reviewed and internationally circulated journal articles.

5X����’s Board of Trustees celebrated the high quality of the university’s fall enrollment, a record number of degrees and certificates awarded and an impressive national ranking, while also approving a university budget that ensures all students continue to receive a world-class education.

Four 5X���� employees have been named 2017 “30 for the Future” award recipients by the Greater Akron Chamber. Kent State’s Theron Brown, assistant professor of jazz piano in the Hugh A.
