Fondest Kent State memory: “From our giant Valentine’s Day date freshman year to playing bingo with the elderly ladies at Four Seasons Retirement Home to burying a dead goat, I’ve had some amazing times these past couple of years.

Complete with a giant banana, Harry Potter and a sexy seductress, it was definitely a defining moment in my Kent State career.”

Fondest Kent State memory: “I stepped out of my comfort zone when I decided to spend my spring break in Biloxi, Mississippi with 400 other students. Even though I wasn’t with friends, I felt this was something I needed to do. By the end of the trip, I had become close with my fellow roofing buddies. Our last morning in Biloxi, we watched the sun rise on the beach. We all had such a feeling of accomplishment. I actually learned how to use a nail gun, and I met some pretty fascinating people along the way. I will always cherish this Kent State memory.”
