Kent State Weight Watchers Group – For Employees, Family Members and Students: Join Today!

In addition to full- and part-time employees, Weight Watchers at Work is now open to spouses, dependents and students. Participants can choose from one of two discounted weight-loss programs:

  1. A monthly pass that gives faculty, staff and students a trial period without the lengthy commitment. Participants have the option of "at-work" or local community meetings.
  2. The online tailored program allows for participation at your own pace.

The At-Work program meets every Wednesday at noon in the Kent Student Center, Room 303, unless otherwise noted. These sessions run continually with no end date. However, a minimum of 20 members must be enrolled for each class session, and we must have a minimum of eight members present for each meeting (even if just to weigh in) in order to maintain the meeting location at Â鶹´«Ã½.

If you are thinking of joining Weight Watchers at Work and wish to try a meeting, there is no obligation to join. Simply attend a meeting in Kent Student Center, Room 303 on Wednesday at noon. Your group leader will assist with the registration process or you can follow the directions at .

Testing Your Faith Act (H.B. 353) was enacted in the Spring 2023 semester. In ordinance with this bill, Â鶹´«Ã½ created a new administrative policy for religious and spiritual accommodations. This administrative policy allows students to report up to three days of unexcused absences to participate in religious holidays or community-held events in alignment with their spirituality.
