The Summit Street: Building a Better Way improvement project continues this fall. Here is what you need to know:
Off-campus access to the numerous electronic resources provided by 鶹ý Libraries just became a lot easier. Launching today, Aug. 22, the new KSU Proxy service replaces the KSU Cisco VPN (virtual private network) for remote library access.
鶹ý’s Fleet Services has purchased two 15-passenger minibuses that can be used by departments for university travel.
The new minibuses are equipped with overhead storage, backup cameras and larger windows for better visibility.
“The interiors are very spacious and comfortable,” says Nicole Corll, associate director for University Facilities and Management. “The goal of adding minibuses to the fleet is to provide a service to the students, faculty and staff to increase and enhance transportation options for group outings.”

The 鶹ý Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.
The events of May 4, 1970, placed 鶹ý in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Kent State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
