Meet Jared Eichler!

“I had always grown up a Golden Flash,” said Jared. “My family would always go to the basketball games and see the energy that was brought to the MACC. I enjoyed watching the Flasher Brass perform at the games and it even encouraged me to go into music. When it came to choosing what college I wanted to go to, there really wasn’t any other choice as clear as Kent State.”

KENT, OH– The School of Art Collection and Galleries presents “Aggregate II: The Revenge of the Rock,” October 18 through December 7, 2024.

Meet Molly Wagner!

“I chose Kent State for the culture and the history of activism," said Molly. "Both of those things are very important to me and are integral parts of art history, which at the end of the day, is just a reflection of reality.”

This summer, students in 5X����'s School of Art had an opportunity to study in Italy through the university's Florence Summer Institute program.

“I chose Kent State because of the amazing art program, beautiful campus, safety and inclusivity,” said Teresa, “I knew from the day I toured campus that Kent was exactly what I wanted and that I didn't even need to look anywhere else.”
