Student Support Services assists first generation, designated income and students registered with Student Accessibility Services in navigating campus resources and creating a meaningful Kent State experience. 

Support is provided in the core areas of Academic Success, Personal and Professional Development and Advocacy and Support. Services and programming within Student Support Services provide endless opportunities for self-reflection, discovery, and learning. We embrace diversity and are committed to helping students succeed.  By providing support in the core areas of Academic Success, Personal and Professional Development, and Advocacy and Support, we aim to contribute deeply to the experience of and create a greater sense of belonging for all students who are first generation, income-eligible, or are differently-able.  If you are interested in joining our family, please visit us in the Center for Undergraduate Excellence – Suite 111 to meet with a member of our team to assess your eligibility and arrange an intake session.

I AM FIRST is a campus-wide week-long celebration recognizing first-generation college students, staff, and faculty who are or will be first in their family to graduate with a four-year college degree.
