Brian VanDeMark, a historian with the United States Naval Academy, has written a new book “Kent State: An American Tragedy.” He will participate in a panel discussion at �鶹��ѡon Sept. 27.

In her first year as the director of the May 4 Visitor Center, Alison Caplan has enjoyed uniquely wonderful and "magical" experiences in how Kent State's history creates connections and inspiration.

An exhibition at the May 4 Visitors Center will highlight the personalities of each of the four students who were killed on May 4. 

From April 22 to Aug. 1, �鶹��ѡ’s May 4 Visitors Center will honor Bill Schroeder’s life with an exhibition titled “Bill: An All-American Boy.” Mr. Schroeder’s sister, Nancy Tuttle, and nephew, David Tuttle, helped create the exhibition by loaning some of his personal items to the May 4 Visitors Center. 

Congratulations to May 4 Visitors Center intern Emma McNichols who will graduate in December. She has recently accepted a position at Andersonville National Historic Site, a National Park Site in Georgia dedicated to American Prisoners of War. 

We chatted with Emma about her experience as a student intern here at the May 4 Visitor

Vietnamese student Tram Nguyen made a connection to �鶹��ѡwhen she saw a picture of student Jeffrey Miller after the May 4 shooting. Recently she visited the Prentice Parking Lot Memorial Marker dedicated to Miller.
