Kent State Tinder Couple Meets for the First Time on GMA

Michelle Arendas and Josh Avsec have bantered on Tinder for three years, but never met until Tuesday morning on ABC’s Good Morning America.

The two Kent State University students sat side-by-side with a wall separating them as GMA hosts Michael Strahan and Lara Spencer asked questions about how much the students have in common.

Before the big reveal, Arendas and Avsec learned that food is most important on the “perfect” date. Their favorite go-to junk food is chips, and their favorite TV show to binge on is “The Office.” Tinder is sending Arendas and Avsec to Maui, Hawaii for their first date.

Watch as the two meet face-to-face for the first time.

This November, Kent State University’s Wick Poetry Center will host the inaugural Poets for Science Gathering, an international convening that explores the connection between poetry and science. The three-day event, taking place Nov. 12-14, will bring together poets, scientists, educators, clinicians, students, environmental advocates, policymakers, artists and community members for readings, panels, workshops, performances, participatory events and informal conversations centered on the continuing need for cross-disciplinary exchange and alliance.

For generations of Kent State University students, alumni, faculty and staff, there were certain places that felt like home. Ray’s Place was one of them. And Charlie Thomas was one of the people who made it that way.

The Flash Activities Board, known as FAB, is usually a student’s first introduction to the Kent State University community. Whether a student is looking for a quick evening activity, roaring crowds or somewhere to meet new friends in general, an event by the FAB should be their first stop.
