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

Students coming to »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ 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 »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥'s LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Kent to support them.

»ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ 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 »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ 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.
