Why was inSIGHT! created?



inSIGHT is an online student-run newsletter. It started as an idea that the 2009-2010 KSU-NAACP thought would be a one-page double-sided publication that would serve as a form a advertisement for Center for Pan-African Culture (CPAC) organizations—just another way of keeping minority students at Kent State up-to-date on programs, meetings, social events, and opportunities to advance academically, economically, and through our new health initiatives.

Two of the six principles of the KSU-NAACP are to advocate and educate. We firmly believe in standing up for your rights and educating our community on issues on campus as well as locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. The information you find in this publication will not be mainstream-focused—you can find that on KentNewsNet.com or in the USA Today or New York Times newspapers.

This newsletter is designed to give you that piece of information you will not necessarily read in other publications on Kent State’s campus. We intend to inform, entertain, and educate with
inSIGHT. As planned, you will find a calendar of CPAC events near the end of every issue. Each issue will also come with a word from our national chapter and a main story.

KSU-NAACP is a direct reflection of the NAACP. We continue fight for equality and justice just as our national chapter. One of the most important aspects of maintaining equality is making sure students have access to information about what student organizations are doing for us students at Kent State University!
