Kent State University President Lester A. Lefton was joined by his predecessors, former Kent State presidents Carol Cartwright (1991-2006) and Michael Schwartz (1982-1991), at Dix Stadium to watch the Kent State Golden Flashes football team. The Golden Flashes beat Bowling Green State University on Oct. 29 by a score of 27-15. Coincidentally, Cartwright also served as Bowling Green’s president up until her retirement this past June.

Between Lefton, Cartwright and Schwartz, their combined leadership of the university spans almost three decades. Their contributions have led to making Kent State the number one public university in Northeast Ohio with the largest enrollment and highest graduation rate in the region.
