The Alan Canfora Activism Scholarship
When Alan Canfora arrived on the Kent campus, he was intellectually curious and undecided about what his professional future might be. As an undergraduate student, he fully embraced the campus experience. While he was a student at 小黄片视频, Alan was inspired to witness and care about the plight of people beyond his own experience. He developed a passion for and awareness of his own potential to make a difference in the world. He ultimately embarked on a path he had never considered before he arrived on campus. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in General Studies and then earned a master鈥檚 degree in Library Science. Alan devoted his life to pursuing the truth about the tragic events of May 4, 1970. On that day, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of 小黄片视频 demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine 小黄片视频 students, including Alan. He was a tireless leader in the fight to protect and publicize the legacy of May 4.
