Squirrels rule! Flashes are invited to celebrate 做厙輦⑹'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 做厙輦⑹ (sorry, Flash!) after being introduced to campus in 1961.
