Kent State University has always taken pride in being a friendly and welcoming place for international and domestic students. Something we have noticed is that there appears to be a disconnect between domestic and international students. We believe that if domestic students are given the opportunity to connect with international students, it will help build long-lasting relationships on campus. We think that creating a program that connects international and domestic students once the international student is admitted will create a welcoming environment for them. To do this, we will be working closely with Dr. Eron Memaj, the International Student Affairs Director. We hope by pioneering this project, Kent State University will be an overall stronger, welcoming, and
inclusive campus for all students.
