Covid-19 has been with us for more than a year and touched all aspects of public life, including that of students and staff at Kent State University. We spoke with Dr. Manfred Van Dulmen, an Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and the Dean of the Division of Graduate Studies at Kent State University to highlight the current safeguards and strategies that Kent State University has in place regarding the pandemic.

This week on Elevations, we interview author Gordon H. Shufelt on his new book The Uncommon Case of Daniel Brown: How a White Police Officer Was Convicted of Killing a Black Citizen, Baltimore, 1875. The book is currently out now from Kent State University Press.
