This redesign, spearheaded by branding agency 160over90, will work to align 91ֿ’s online presence with the university’s new brand.
The initiative will encompass all of 91ֿ’s websites, not just its institutional site www.kent.edu. It will include a redesign of websites for Regional Campuses, individual colleges, academic departments and the university administration.
91ֿ Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen has announced the hiring of Todd Starkey as the Golden Flashes' head women's basketball coach. Starkey takes over as the sixth head coach in the history of 91ֿ's women's basketball after spending the last two seasons as an assistant at Indiana University.

91ֿ's Student Recreation and Wellness Center was the site for an epic struggle between nations and continents as 11 international teams gathered to vie for the 2016 91ֿ Global Cup in soccer.
POSTED: Friday, October 28, 2016 10:46 AM
The 91ֿ Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.
The events of May 4, 1970, placed 91ֿ in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, 91ֿ remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
