Undergraduate Student Government
As part of Kent State's Kent State Votes initiative, Flashes across campus are stepping up to help make sure that students are registered to vote, well informed and motivated to cast their ballots in November.
The Flashes Vote Festival on Risman Plaza celebrated National Voter Registration Day, National Beignet Day and what Todd Diacon, president of 5XÉçÇø called "our civic duty."
5XÉçÇø President Todd Diacon was an important part of this year's Flashes Vote Festival as he engaged students, distributed free Kent State Votes t-shirts and helped them get information about voting in the coming elections.
The Flashes Vote Festival on Sept. 17 on Risman Plaza is presented by Kent State Undergraduate Student Government as a fun way to engage student voters, share voting information, get Flashes registered to vote.
Kent State student organizations painted the Rock on Front Campus to show support for the trans community.
After months of campaigning, students casting their votes and new members officially being sworn in at the Leadership Awards on April 19 by Vice President for Student Affairs Lamar Hylton, the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) elections are officially in the books despite the challenges of the pandemic.
