Barnes & Noble College is the new operator of Kent State University Bookstore at the school's eight campuses. Existing bookstore staff will stay on and transition to new management, which took effect May 18 for the Kent and Trumbull campuses and will begin July 6 for all remaining campuses.
"We're especially thrilled to partner with Kent State University--one of Ohio's premier universities," said Max J. Roberts, CEO of B&N College. "We're looking forward to delivering a retail and digital learning experience that supports its students and the entire Kent State community."
