Congratulations on your decision to be apart of a distinguished incoming class at Kent State University. Kent has come a long way since it’s inception as a small teaching school to becoming the second largest college in Ohio with over 30,000 students including those on our seven regional campuses. Throughout your college career, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of all that Kent has become over the last century.
The information on this site will keep you up to date on Kent State happenings for first-year students. You will also be able to use this site to connect with your fellow classmates. You can share your graduation picture, comment on the Summer Reading book, The Kite Runner, and read the Daily Kent Stater, our student run newspaper. And coming soon you will be able to test your Kent State knowledge with our Kent State puzzles and quizzes.
Join us online and connect the Kent State way! On behalf of Kent State University, welcome to your new home away from home!

“The Voice of the Freshman Class”
The Freshman Advisory Council is made up of an elite group of freshmen who dedicate themselves to insure a smooth transition for first year students at Kent State University. The purpose of the FAC is to provide communication between First Year personnel and the freshman class, aid in the development of freshman-specific activities and events, and keep the class informed of class-specific and campus-wide events and information. The FAC also fosters a sense of belonging between the Kent State University community and the freshman class.

The Summer Reading Program is designed to welcome and connect incoming students to the Kent State community. Reading the book will provide a common ground for you to share with other students. You will discuss the book on campus during the “Week of Welcome” with faculty, students, and staff. You can also begin the conversation now with your fellow 2012 classmates. Tell us who was your favorite character and why? What part of the book did you enjoy the most? Was the ending what you expected?
