When summer break began at Kent State this May, Kent State International Admissions posted these welcoming words and beautiful images.
"As the sun warms the campus, Â鶹´«Ã½ awakens with a vibrant energy. While some students head home or embark on summer adventures, others remain drawn to the peaceful campus. Contrary to expectations, Kent State buzzes as new international students arrive, their eyes wide with curiosity, carrying dreams and aspirations for this new chapter. The Flashes spirit knows no bounds, it thrives in diversity and embraces every newcomer."
"The heart of Kent State lies in exploration. New Flashes wander through the architecture, tracing the footsteps of those who came before. They discover hidden courtyards, historic landmarks, and the beating pulse of campus life or the library, where knowledge blooms like summer flowers."
"To our fresh arrivals, we extend a warm welcome. Whether you’re here for a semester or embarking on a longer journey, know that Kent State embraces you. Study hard, explore passionately, and become part of the vibrant tapestry that makes this university special."
"To all Flashes, new and returning, may your summer be filled with growth, connection, and the joy of learning. Welcome to Kent State!"
