Kent State University

Perfect moments like these are what make Kent State so special! 💙 From academics to athletics to gorgeous scenery, it's hard to choose just one picture-perfect moment.

Five Kent State students from Rwanda recently completed their first flights at the Kent State University Airport, marking an exciting milestone in their academic journey. Cedric Hindura, Francis Shyaka, Henry Kenny Hagenimana, Milka Isingizwe and Patricie Mugabo, were chosen from more than 2,600 applicants to train in Kent State's nationally recognized aeronautics program before returning home to begin careers with RwandAir.
Their achievement reflects the power of global partnerships, determination and opportunity. As fellow Kent State and Rwandan students gathered to cheer them on, these future pilots took an important first step toward careers that will help shape the future of aviation in Rwanda and beyond. ✈️💛
