About Me

Hi, my name is Lily! I grew up in Alliance, Ohio (about 40 minutes from Kent). I’m a first-generation student and graduated from Kent State in May of 2024 with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Music!

My advice for prospective students is that it’s totally okay if you don’t know what you want to major in when you start college! Make sure you pick something you love and is a good fit for you. If you don’t want to major in it, you can always add a minor after you start. 

Starting college can bring up a multitude of emotions. Here at Kent State, we are here to support you every step of the way! 😊

What I Love About Kent State

I love the affordability of Kent State and the community that’s built around it. I attended our regional campus in Stark and admired my professors, the quality of education I received and the environment I was surrounded by. This continues to ring true as I attend Kent State as a graduate student!

As a first-generation student, Kent State truly made my family and me feel special, and the appreciation Kent State has not only for their first-gen students, but all their students, is incredible. I have always felt supported during my time at Kent!
