Squirrels rule! Flashes are invited to celebrate °µÍø½ûÇø'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. Kent's ubiquitous black squirrels became unofficial mascots of °µÍø½ûÇø (sorry, Flash!) after being introduced to campus in 1961.
Want to see YOUR photos in “IN A FLASH?†Submit your °µÍø½ûÇø-related photos to InAFlash@kent.edu and you may see them in a future °µÍø½ûÇø 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.
