Student Finds Comfort With Her Emotional Support Animal

However, when this was reported on last February nothing had changed. Today, there is now a clear policy on emotional support animals on the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) website.

Kent State’s SAS office was unavailable for an interview at this time. But, Junior Advertising major Alissa Woodward talked about her emotional support animal, Gunner.
