A key figure in Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Black History, Oscar Ritchie continues to inspire generations of students and educators.

If you frequent the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Library for Starbucks and studying, you may not have noticed you were within feet of one of the most important resources for students on campus. The Student Multimedia Studio on the first floor provides a space for high academics and creative play for students, faculty and staff.  

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has a strong history of student activism. The university wants to ensure students can exercise their right to protest, demonstrate and march about issues that matter to them. And to do it safely.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s new series titled Dialogue and Difference: A New Understanding continues with upcoming programming for the university community. The next event, "Dialogue on Hatred: A Peacebuilder's Perspective," occurs on Feb. 22.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ will redesign many aspects of the university’s operations and organization as it undertakes careful belt-tightening over the next four years, President Todd Diacon shared Feb. 13 during his monthly Talking With Todd webcast.

A Celebration of Life for former Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Cleveland State University President Michael Schwartz took place on Cleveland State's campus. 

What do cybersecurity, data structures and algorithms all have in common? They are all part of the computer science industry, an industry that Ohio wants to see grow. The Ohio Department of Higher Education hopes to address a teaching gap through a recently announced funding opportunity called Teach CS.  Â鶹ÊÓƵ was one of the recent awardees, receiving a million-dollar grant to develop KSU TeachCS.

Finding a job for the summer can sometimes be a burden, but for students at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, it’s easier when the employment prospects come to you. Students and professionals gathered on the second floor of the Kent Student Center on Feb. 6 to kickstart their connections and discuss opportunities for this summer. 

A celebration of life event was held today on the campus of Cleveland State University to honor the late Michael Schwartz, who was a past university president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Cleveland State.
