KENT, Ohio – In an effort to continue to enhance the gameday and student experience on campus, Kent State Athletics has announced the new name for the student section, "Flash's Flock."
"I am thrilled to have a unifying student section brand across all our athletic venues and contests," said Scott Peace, Associate Athletic Director for Marketing and Fan Engagement. "Flash's Flock will embody the spirit of our mascot, Flash the Golden Eagle, and helps encourage our students to 'flock'' to our events and provide that home field advantage. We look forward to creating memories for our Kent State students that last a lifetime. My gratitude goes out to everyone who took the time to participate in our surveys and provide feedback."
The process of creating the new name and identity for the student section took several weeks and included surveys and feedback from both athletic department staff and students and was a collaborative effort between multiple campus units, including Student Life and University Communications and Marketing as well as multiple groups within the Athletic Department.Â
The final student survey was filled out by nearly 700 Kent State students and included over 150 unique write-in suggestions. The new Flash's Flock logo was designed by Kent State 's own, Scolin MacLean, Director of Creative Solutions for the Golden Flashes Club.

Flash's Flock will be present across all Kent State athletic events throughout the year. Flash's Flock members are invited to tag @KentStateFlock on Instagram for a chance to be featured on the official page, which will showcase the student gameday experience throughout the year.
