Commencement Ceremonies Held on Salem Campus

Natalie MacDonald is driven to help and care for others. As a second-year student in the Associate Degree of Nursing (ADN) program at Kent State East Liverpool, she is well on her way to making a career of doing just that. In the meantime, she found a way to help her fellow nursing students fund their educational journeys: a golf outing.

On one of the hottest days this summer – with temperatures hovering in the high 90s – Lisa Vittorio and her Sunshine Team set up shop near the Kent State East Liverpool Campus and welcomed dozens of local kids to board the Sunshine Bus as they prepared to head back to school.

Healthcare professionals trained in other countries often find that they need additional training before they are permitted to practice in the United States. For foreign-trained physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, Kent State University provides a way to bridge that gap.
