Flash Activities Board (FAB) hosted the 42nd annual Black Squirrel Festival to honor of the unofficial Kent State mascot — the black squirrel.

Over 50 student organizations were in attendance Friday afternoon; FAB passed out free T-shirts and welcomed the 2024 Homecoming Court.

The Black Squirrel Festival also serves as the kickoff for Parents and Family Weekend, allowing students and their families to experience and enjoy campus life together.
