Scope and Content

Publications for the alumni of Kent State University began at Pres. Bowman's request to inform alumni about fellow alumni and their careers since graduating. There are also articles about campus activities such as homecoming or other special events that would involve or interest the alumni. There is also information about new buildings constructed on campus.

Kent State Alumnus was the first publication for the alumni which was issued from 1934-1942. Kent Alumnus was the second title that was published from 1942-68 when it changed title again to Kent which was published as a tabloid from March 1968 until December 1990. In 1991 the title changed to Kent Alumni. It is presently being published as Kent State Magazine by University Communications and Marketing.
