Dear Alumni and Friends,

Thanks so much for your interest in supporting Kent State’s research success. From better understanding of psychological trauma to developing effective drug treatments for cancer, there is extensive and remarkable research going on at Kent State. And each lab and studio provides an opportunity for students to, not just learn about areas of great societal relevance, but to engage in creating knowledge – a high impact practice associated with better academic performance, increased graduation rates and the development of critical thinking skills. As interim vice president for research, I am privileged to witness and provide support to those responsible for our research successes and am very aware that we could never do it alone.
I am eternally grateful for the many generous donors who support our efforts. Your contributions allow us to grow participation in life-changing student programs, conduct groundbreaking research, and attract and retain talented students and renowned faculty.
Thank you for your support and for your contributions to Kent State’s research success.
Sincerely,
Douglas L. Delahanty, PhD
Vice President for Research and Economic Development
