As part of a relatively new Homecoming tradition at ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø (established during ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø's 2011 Homecoming), couples who found love during their time as students here celebrate their love with a kiss while standing near the "K" on the bricks near the Kent Student Center and the University Library.

Each year, the ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø's Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement sends out a call for nominations for "honorary couples" to share their ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø love stories.
