Kent State University at Stark recognizes that the Conference Center has been a valued community resource for many years. However, in a time of tightening budgets and limited state funding for higher education, the campus can no longer absorb the large costs associated with keeping the facility open.

To ensure continued focus on its core mission — providing high-quality, student-centered education — the campus will end external event rentals at the Stark Conference Center after Sept. 30, 2025.

James C. Hannon, Ph.D., began his appointment as interim dean and chief administrative officer of Kent State Salem and Kent State Stark on July 1. “I’m truly excited to begin this new chapter alongside everyone at the Salem and Stark campuses. I’m quickly learning that these are warm, dedicated and passionate communities and I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining them,” he said.
