A colorful Kent State tradition became a celebration of global education!

Before returning to their home countries, the 23 scholars participating in the 2026 Fulbright Pre-Academic Program gathered to paint The Rock. Alongside the Fulbright logo, each scholar painted their nation's flag, representing countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Hosted by the The Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education in partnership with the English as a Second Language Center, the four-week program provides students with academic preparation and opportunities to build multicultural connections.

Thank you to our Fulbright scholars for sharing your cultures, perspectives, and experiences with the Kent State community. 💙💛

While she was still a student at Kent State, she founded the nonprofit Baseball For All. Now in the ultimate full circle moment, she's co-founder of the Women's Pro Baseball League and will serve as the league's inaugural commissioner.
