the university center, kent state university at stark

I attended a session at this location. Breakfast buffet was respectable (didn't eat eggs). Had make-it-yourself waffle station. Meeting was professionally handled. Meeting I attended was a smaller one compared to others in progress, but was handled well I find this the best venue to attend a meeting in Stark County.

If you're looking to plan an event, or preparing to attend one, this is a great place to be! The building is clean, and new, and up to date on technology. There are a multitude of meeting rooms to fit your needs, and the food is always delicious. In my previous job, I planned yearly events there, held over a 3-day weekend for 350-400 people and it was always SEAMLESS! The staff is great. Event Manager Janet Capocci does a wonderful job working with you to determine what you need for your event and making it happen! I never had to worry about a THING once my events started - they always ran perfectly!

Just went for a leisurely stroll around the campus. Nice layout and separation between buildings ... good balance between natural woodlands and urban landscape.

The large banquet room was set up in a way that gave it a formal, yet intimate ambiance. All of the food was excellent and the staff was very professional.

As a trainer and facilitator, I spend quite a bit of time at the KSU center. At the end of each session, they ask for feedback on how to improve. My response is always to keep doing what they are doing. They have a variety of settings, from boardroom to a full ballroom to accommodate all manner of meetings. The food is consistently good. The chef enjoys trying new entrees and frequently comes up with unique offerings. The staple steamed vegetables are what they are, but the dessert table is consistently terrific. What really sets the place apart is the staff. They treat presenters and participants like honored guests.

It offers a great atmosphere with excellent programs. A nice plus for the community.
