<p>A word about Kent State - when my daughter was a rising Senior in HS we had the opportunity to meet with the cast of Hair which was playing in Central Park that summer so of course I “grilled” some of the young cast members about where they went to college, what they thought, etc. One conversation with two cast members made a strong impression in my mind; one was from CMU one from Kent State. They both graduated the same year, CMU had a showcase, Kent State did not, CMU is considered one of the best, Kent State not so much, etc. Yet, here they were, both in the same place one year after graduation. To me it made the point that it is the person who makes their career, not the school. Just a thought.</p>
