Spring 2013 True Colors - Kent State University

TEE UP FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
The Diversity Advisory Board was developed to support
Kent State’s mission of a holistic view of student success,
ultimately increasing the graduation rate of underrepresented
and underserved students. The board intends to develop and
implement an annual scholarship fundraiser and to build
collaborations to ensure continuous success for students
through degree completion. The board has planned a spring
2013 Golf Fundraising Event: Tee Up for Scholarships.
Please join us for a golf outing to raise scholarship funds for
diverse students who are juniors and seniors in good academic
standing and in need of financial support. The website for the
outing’s registration is: http://www.kent.edu/diversity/golf.
The event will take place at
Windmill Lakes Golf course
on May 20. The golf event
welcomes participation from
Kent State students, staff,
faculty, alumni, administration,
community patrons, and
corporate partners. If you have
any questions, please contact
Dr. Fashaad Crawford at
