Blog Post Three- Kent State University at Tuscarawas Campus.

      As a student attending the Kent Tuscarawas branch in New Philadelphia, I would catch myself gazing at the buildings on my way to class. As a student, I feel in some sort of way I should know about how the school came to be, and the significance that the school detains. Each school out there is important for some reason or another. However Kent State at Tuscarawas branch building  is the only campus that is owned by the community itself and not the main branch that it supports.

             The movement of bringing Kent State to Tuscarawas  began in January 10, 1962. There were many reasons people wanted to bring this experience and opportunity to the New Philadelphia area, one being that this would make it easier to go and advance in college with it being closer to the student's homes. To operate solely and efficiently was the goal, but giving credit to Kent State University is not a problem at all. On July 8, 1962 the schools hopes of succeeding were lifted when 120 students attended an information night. In 1962 classes costed $11 per credit hour is the student was a part time student.

             Now in 2017, almost 2100 students a year choose to pursue a degree at Kent State Tuscarawas. Times have changed, but most importantly Kent State University helped play a part in having a community college, that is available to us at a small cost compared to many other colleges out there.
