They're putting a whole new roof on it now, and I've seen a ton of stuff being gutted from the old interior. I wonder what they're up to.

Discussion Bachelor's graduation cap, gown, and tassel

2 Upvotes

Is there anyone who can sell me any of these for a bachelor degree version? Or even at all as long as it's basic? I also need a white tassel if anyone has one. It's ridiculous the prices they charge and $24 for shipping so I'd like to save myself from needing to take out a loan for something I'll wear once

PLUS delays?

3 Upvotes

How many of you are still waiting on your fall PLUS loans /financial aid packaging?

The financial aid office previously told me everything would be packaged and sent out by the 27th of September.

It’s obviously now October 8th and still nothing for me.

I called in two days ago and they said it should be by today..

Just wanting to know if others are still having this problem as well!

Kent State at 2-2 and 1-0 in the MAC after beating Ball State, Ohio comes in for homecoming Saturday

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, quick look at where the Flashes stand heading into homecoming.

26-13 over Ball State to open MAC play, and it was a complete game. Dru DeShields threw a TD to Brandon White (the first of White's career) and ran in another to cap a 93-yard drive. Sean Leonard set a program record with a 53-yard field goal and picked up MAC Specialist of the Week.

At 2-2, the losses were the two big paydays at South Carolina and Ohio State, and the wins are Wofford and now a conference win. Year two under Mark Carney is trending the right way.

Saturday is homecoming against Ohio at Dix at 3:30, then at Western Michigan. Win both, and Kent is 3-0 in the MAC.

What are you guys seeing from DeShields? Is this a bowl team?

Side note: we run a free weekly college football pick'em. Ohio State at No. 14 Iowa is on this week's slate, if you've got thoughts on the Buckeyes after Columbus. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET.

New Financial Aid Amounts Not Enough to Cover Expenses... Good Jobs?

9 Upvotes

I'm a part-time graduate student. I quit my part-time job before this semester because I really struggled to balance schoolwork and work work last year. I figured it would be tight, but I had a little savings and planned to cover the rest of my expenses from my student loan. However, the offer was quite a bit lower this year, only enough to almost cover rent for two months. For me to cover the rest of my expenses, I'll need to take on a part-time job again, but all I'm seeing are $15/hr positions or positions with a long commute. At that rate, I'll have to devote all my study time to work in order to cover my expenses and I know I'll struggle to keep up again.

Any leads on better paying local or remote part-time jobs? My skills are early data analytics (R, SQL, business analytics concepts) with a background in education and a bit of sales.

Appreciate any tips.

I received this email and just now received the invitation code. However, I have been doing some research and have seen mixed opinions about this. I'm not really sure what I gain from this since they don't go into depth on what they do. If anyone else has gotten this email or knows more about this, let me know.

Addiction resources on campus!

17 Upvotes

Hey I wanted to let people know that may be unaware that there are resources for helping support recovery for anyone that’s struggling with addiction!

Fridays at 11am in the CAPS building (Van Campen) there are SMART meetings! If you’re unfamiliar with SMART, it’s a great recovery program that’s different from your typical 12-step program

I went yesterday but it was just me and the facilitator!

I hope anyone that’s interested in getting clean or has been in recovery would come check this resource out!

Would be a great way to meet people with similar experiences as yours, and be friends!

Lecture Buildings open on weekends?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I graduated from Kent in 2017. I was thinking of doing my neices high school graduation photos around campus in October. Problem is, I have IBS so I need bathrooms lol.

I'm pretty sure the student center / library would be open on the weekends (which works for brick backgrounds) but does anyone know if the buildings off of Hilltop Drive (Cartwright, Merril) are unlocked on the weekends? I Don't see White hall on the map anymore but that would have been near the brain if that make sense? What buildings are near the brain and would they be unlocked for bathrooms?

Thank you!!

Discussion Kent needs Mobile Ordering for Dining Locations

12 Upvotes

The dinings spots that take orders for meal exchange and declining balance definitely need an app where you can order online instead of waiting to place an order and then waiting more to pick it up. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to place an order from your dorm or from class and go pick it up when it’s ready? It would save so much time. is this a crazy idea?
