Squirrels rule! Flashes are invited to celebrate Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's famous black squirrels at the annual Black Squirrel Festival from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, on Risman Plaza.
Scamper on over for food, music, games, tabling by local businesses and student organizations, and an opportunity for students to get a free t-shirt!
The event is presented by Flashes Activities Board and the Center for Student Involvement. Ñý¼§Ö±²¥'s ubiquitous black squirrels became unofficial mascots of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State (sorry, Flash!) after being introduced to campus in 1961.
Want to see YOUR photos in “IN A FLASH?†Submit your Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State-related photos to InAFlash@kent.edu and you may see them in a future Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State Today post. Photos should be framed -horizontally- and include a brief description of what’s happening in the photo along with when and where it was taken.
Photos are from the 2024 Black Squirrel Festival.
