discuss their work designing Kent State's May 4 Visitors
Center on May 5.

Jones and Rhodes will share their thoughts on their relationship with Kent State that was born more than six years ago as the university discovered a way to tell the story of the May 4 shootings. They will also talk about how the design helps realize the center’s vision and mission.
