April 28.

“With 10 Shining Points of Light circling the country on a single night, the Take Back the Night Foundation aims to bring visibility to crimes that go unreported or are under-reported. We hope many more communities will join us in lighting candles on April 28 at 9 p.m. in support of survivors of sexual violence,” says Katie Koestner, executive director of the Take Back The Night Foundation.
In the United States, one out of every three women will be beaten or abused during their lifetime. On college campuses and for young people around the country, this is a daily reality; 32 percent of students report dating violence by a previous partner, and 21 percent report violence by a current partner.

Kent State Youth Sports Camps Again Scheduled for Summer Fun
Every summer, Kent State offers sports camps to children of all ages. These camps are overseen by Kent State athletic coaches. Camps vary from football to field hockey. Each camp fills to capacity nearly every year.
Camps include baseball, football, women’s and men’s basketball, wrestling, softball, track, gymnastics, soccer, field hockey and volleyball. The earliest camp to begin its session is softball, beginning on May 23. The last camp is the volleyball team camp which ends on July 17.
Kent State Intercollegiate Athletics Sports Camps afford various opportunities for young student athletes to hone their skills on their fields of play and off. Kent State provides a fun and structured environment for campers to grow as an athlete and as a sportsman.
Attendees will receive instruction in the sport’s fundamentals from Kent State coaches and will have the opportunity to meet and network with other athletes who share their interests.
Registration deadlines will vary depending on the camp. The complete schedules can be found online. Registration may also be completed online.
