I have a HealthRider Softstrider treadmill that I am not using enough. It works fine. The treadmill was passed on to me so I am interested in passing it on to someone who will use it, for free. Please email aschmidt@kent.edu. I moved it in the back of my Jeep, folded up. You will need to transport it.

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.
