GQ was formed in 1978 through the collaborative efforts of six talented and enterprising students at Kent State University. When we thought about what was missing from on-campus community life, we envisioned the opportunity to fuel intellectual exchange, create a platform for provocative discussions, and organize cultural events. Through a captivating lecture series showcasing national speakers and a dynamic performance series featuring concerts by renowned recording artists, fashion shows, and the iconic GQ Ball, we saw our vision become a reality. Not only did our organization provide a space for thoughtful engagement, but it enriched the lives of Kent State students. Now, GQII is taking our decades-old ethos of putting the community first and running with it. While the core of GQ remains the same, its new iteration seeks to empower individuals to attain and preserve generational wealth and financial well-being. We offer comprehensive financial planning solutions and wealth management counseling to ensure individuals and families have the tools they need for a bright future.
