Support Research at ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡
Dear Alumni and Friends,
![Headshot of Douglas Delahanty](https://www-s3-live.kent.edu/s3fs-root/s3fs-public/20210507_BC_Delahanty%2C%20Doug_012_1000px.jpg?VersionId=0aZCy6icnzLuQR8i1AtPselxRujeQizV)
Thanks so much for your interest in supporting ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡â€™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 ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡. 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 ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡â€™s research success.
Sincerely,
Douglas L. Delahanty, PhD
Vice President for Research and Economic Development
