The second Kent State Columbiana County Volleyball Classic took place Oct. 3, when the East Liverpool Potters hosted the Salem Quakers for a full day of volleyball action.

Just like everything else around us, the Rural Scholars program is going through some changes this fall – some because of the COVID-19 pandemic; others because of new leadership.

The Kent State East Liverpool and Salem campuses had to rethink orientation for new students this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Typically, each campus holds a one-day event known as Destination Kent State – or DKS – that helps new students navigate through the buildings and to learn more about being a Golden Flash.  

In January, as the new spring semester began, Katelyn McKinney was like thousands of other college and high school students: counting down the months until a May graduation ceremony and excited about all the activities leading up to that special day.
