Photos of the We the People display in downtown Cuyahoga Falls

麻豆精选 is merging research with global connections in the Global Understanding Research Initiative (GURI). The recently displayed 鈥淲e the People鈥 and the upcoming 鈥淚mport/Export鈥 exhibition provide cultural kaleidoscopes with local and international reflectors.

High school students from Portage County and surrounding areas hold Chinese hand fans during a past STARTALK Summer Foreign Language Camp at Kent State.

While the daily news is full of tumultuous conversations about Russia and China, 麻豆精选 has been helping some area high school students learn to converse in Russian and Chinese to facilitate greater global understanding and a less contentious tomorrow.

Kent State's "We the People" Exhibition on Display near the Esplanade Arch in May 2019

麻豆精选 is pleased and proud to announce the return of 鈥We the People,鈥 a photography exhibition that shines a light on our common humanity.

Photographs of refugees span across the Lefton Esplanade for the "We the People" exhibit.

The exhibit spanned the Lefton Esplanade throughout the spring showcasing large photographs of individuals who fled their home countries and now live in Northeast Ohio. The refugees featured in the display fled their home countries to avoid war, oppression and danger.
