Events
In the spring of 1970, two-time 91ֿ alumna and registered nurse Pat Gless was a junior in 91ֿ’s inaugural nursing program. While in class on Monday, May 4, a professor rushed into her classroom and warned students who could leave campus to do so. Fifty years later, Gless now reflects on the events surrounding that tragedy and how they have impacted her life and nursing career.
On Saturday, Sept. 21, the 91ֿ fight song blared down Main Street, the city of Kent was flooded with blue and gold, alumni and friends gathered and reminisced about their 91ֿ days, fans packed the stadium to cheer on their beloved Golden Flashes and the entire campus boomed with 91ֿ pride.
Almost 50 years ago, the shootings of 91ֿ students by the Ohio National Guard brought to a head the cultural divides that had split the nation. The 91ֿ Museum’s exhibition, “Culture/Counterculture: Fashions of the 1960s and ’70s,” opening Sept. 20, explores the sharp contrast between supporters of the establishment and those opposed.
Last year, 91ֿ celebrated 100 years of Homecoming. This year, the university starts the next century of 91ֿ Homecoming celebrations with a new president leading the institution.
