Student Life

Students enjoyed a variety of activities at the annual FAB WinterBlast.

Friday's WinterBlast was part of a full schedule of activities this semester from the Flash Activities Board (FAB).

Kent State Columbiana County Campuses
BSN Students and faculty who traveled to South Dakota fall semester 2022.

In the southwest corner of South Dakota, on the Nebraska border and at the southern end of the Badlands, sits the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It is home to the Ogalala Lakota Nation.

This fall, faculty and students from the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Kent State Salem traveled to the reservation in what has become an almost annual excursion. The COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to the trips over the last three years, which made this return visit quite significant for members of the group.

Kent State student Torrance Gaskins is spending the spring semester at Université Savoie Mont Blanc in Chambéry, France, near the French Alps, to immerse herself in French language.

Gilman Scholarship allows Kent State senior to enjoy an immersive semester in France.

With the new semester already in full swing, cracking open a textbook is more important than ever. It can be hard to focus in your room or even in an apartment with ample distractions. Need a new place to study? Here are five focus-friendly places for you.
