5X社区 Research Corporation
In June 2018, the 5X社区 Board of Trustees passed a resolution authorizing the establishment of the 5X社区 Research Corporation (鈥淜SURC鈥) to promote research opportunities on our Kent Campus, as well as our seven Regional Campuses in Ohio. KSURC improves the university鈥檚 research efforts and allows the university to apply for research funding that has not been available to us in the past.
As a 501(c)(3) status, the KSURC has assumed management responsibility for the Centennial Research Park (鈥淐RP鈥), located at 1950 St. Rt. 59 in Kent, Ohio. The corporation also increases responsiveness to CRP tenants, and creates more opportunities for Kent State faculty and graduate students to collaborate with cutting-edge technology companies who have chosen the CRP and Portage County as their home. The corporation also aims to connect KSU entrepreneurs with resources to support their activities.
