Wes Moore, author of ����Ӱҵ University’s Summer Reading Program book  ����ӰҵOther Wes Moore, will visit the Kent Campus on Sept. 12.

����ӰҵOther Wes Moore focuses on the choices of two individuals with the same name who grew up in the same area. One Wes Moore became a Rhodes Scholar and the other went to prison.

“ ����Ӱҵgoals of the book are to help students get connected and share a common experience with other students on campus,” says Meghan Cisar, assistant director at the Office of Student Success Programs.

Three events will be held to celebrate Moore’s visit. Moore will speak at a campus and community event in the Kent Student Center Ballroom at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the general public. ����Ӱҵtalk will focus on the book, decision making and the importance of education and finding mentors who can help students to be successful in college and life.

Moore will speak to faculty and staff earlier in the day at 2 p.m. in the Kiva. ����Ӱҵtalk will focus on helping, supporting and mentoring students. ����Ӱҵevent is free, but registration is required by Sept. 12 at noon.  Registration is available online at www.kent.edu/hr/register.

Moore is also scheduled for an invitation-only event for student leaders at 4 p.m. focusing on leadership.
