            The annual Kente Cloth Ceremony was held at Shawnee State University in the University Center’s Sodexo Ballroom in April when the colorful Kente Cloths were presented to honor culturally diverse and international graduates. Matt Matthews, coordinator of Multicultural Affairs, presented the Kente cloths to graduates as a symbol of success and completion of academic studies at SSU.
