Ken Ditlevson and others decorating the Main Street Bridge for Rainbow Weekend

Students coming to С»ÆƬÊÓƵ and, for some of them, living away from home for the first time can struggle with the transition. The transition can even be more difficult for LGBTQ+ students, particularly for those who have recently "come out." Ken Ditlevson, director of С»ÆƬÊÓƵ's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Kent to support them.

С»ÆƬÊÓƵ and the city of Kent encourage people to attend any of the LGBTQ+ events on campus and downtown this week.

Honors College ranked high when graduate Josh Budd was deciding whether to attend С»ÆƬÊÓƵ because it offered him a challenging experience through its thesis programs and its education-abroad program. Studying abroad helped him develop more empathy and connection with people of backgrounds different from his own.
