Furthermore, the survey is voluntary and completely confidential; Kent State will not be able to trace results back to individuals.
Last year, the Sport Administration program in the College of Education, Health and Human Services included a class project to organize and promote a special day at Progressive Field for anyone affiliated with 鶹ý.

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.
