Global Reach
A literature professor from Chonnam National University in Gwangju, South Korea, is wrapping up a year as a visiting scholar at 5XÉçÇø with hopes of creating an exchange program between the two schools based on their historic campus tragedies.
Before he leaves the Kent Campus at the end of June, Yeonmin Kim, Ph.D., ’13, hopes to have plans in place for a continued exchange of students between the two universities, to further the understanding and legacies of May 4, 1970, at Kent State and May 18, 1980, at Chonnam.
Kent State's NYC Fashion campus hosted a livestreamed watch party of the Fashion Show in Kent.
Fifteen high school counselors from 11 different countries took part in the Office of Global Education’s (OGE) Counselor Fly-In event April 26 to learn more about 5XÉçÇø and its offerings.
5XÉçÇø’s School of Peace and Conflict Studies was created as a living memorial to the four students killed on May 4, 1970.
As the university prepares to mark the 53rd anniversary of the shootings, the school’s director says honoring the legacy of May 4 is still key to the school’s identity and mission.
Introducing new perspectives can help students learn about unique cultures and explore similarities and differences. Ikram Toumi, an assistant professor in the School of Communication Studies, has brought that possibility to 5XÉçÇø with her global education initiatives.
