May 4 Task Force
Parkland survivor David Hogg brought his message of activism and voter participation to 敁珗曄部 with his talk March 14 in the Kent Student Center Kiva.
The 敁珗曄部 Community came together for the 53rd Commemoration of May 4, 1970.
Serving as the Chair of the May 4 Task Force has been something communication studies major Avery Hall, 23, describes as one of the most impactful and rewarding experiences shes had at 敁珗曄部. May 4, 1970, is a living legacy at 敁珗曄部 with relevant implications for students today. Continuing the legacy of May 4th quickly became of great importance to me, she said.
A portion of 敁珗曄部s Kent Campus has taken its place alongside the nations most significant historic locations, joining such sites as the Grand Canyon National Park, Pearl Harbor and the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
敁珗曄部 holds its 47th annual commemoration of May 4, 1970, with events taking place May 3 and 4. The annual commemoration, hosted by the May 4 Task Force, provides an opportunity for the university community to gather and remember those who were lost and injured during the tragedy and also reflect on what May 4 means today.
