There were so many great photos from 2019. As we took a deeper look at the images from last year, a few stood out as the favorites.
Scenic campus shots.
Big wins on the gridiron.

Last month was a great month for Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ and we’d like to share a recap of our social media activity!
Let’s start with Instagram.
![Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ crew films a video for social media surprising mascot Flash for his 34th birthday.](https://www-s3-live.kent.edu/s3fs-root/s3fs-public/styles/1_5_2_thumbnail/public/article/flashbday5.jpg?VersionId=IzJhCa04KCjVU9ok_JeF2DgvkAj7rsAX&h=67eabc4d&itok=UFgPY3ne)
What do you do when your mascot has a birthday coming up? You start planning, and we’re not talking about a party.
![Students gather by the green in front of Kent Student Center](https://www-s3-live.kent.edu/s3fs-root/s3fs-public/styles/1_5_2_thumbnail/public/article/Social%20for%20student%20organizations_%20KSC.jpg?VersionId=jOCv_Y0WfaudS06hVv.WLLjIBPTpeLl9&h=7e287452&itok=fTEub7ra)
So you are in charge of your student organization’s social media presence. That’s awesome!

Golden Flashes, we all have different reasons why we love Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹. We wanted to hear about some of the things you love most about Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹, so we created a fun Instagram story in August.
