SUSTAINABILITY
At Kent, we know there’s no plan(et) B. That’s why, as well as reducing, reusing, repairing and recycling, we are also planting, growing and nurturing to maintain and improve our campus for you and for future students. We are taking action already and not with baby steps but with big, impactful strides. We are proud of how far we have come but there is more work to do.
