Kent State Community Engaged Learning

As Election Day approaches, student voters may wonder, ‘Where is my voting location?’ and ‘What do I need to bring with me to the polls?’ Craig Berger, associate director of @KentStateCEL and co-chair of the Kent State Votes initiative, is here to help. bit.ly/3CgE3IG

On April 20 at @KentStateCEL Love the Earth Day of Service five volunteers placed an impressive 60 stormwater drains on campus led by our Office of Sustainability Intern, Kathryn!!!💧 🌎

Join @KentStateCEL for the last 2023-2024 Day of Service on April 20! 💚🌎 Service projects include: painting rain barrels, marking storm drains, community garden work, and more! Volunteer: linktr.ee/kentstatecel

Registering to vote while away at college can be confusing, but the League of Women Voters and Kent State Votes are on Kent Campus before the Oct. 10 registration deadline to help. bit.ly/3rAbKjy
