Alumni Reunion Weekend Returns in August

As is customary the third weekend of August, Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine (KSUCPM) is looking forward to hosting its 6th Annual Alumni Reunion Weekend in 2024! This year, attendees can expect to earn 25+ continuing education hours across a condensed three-day schedule at the North Coast Foot & Ankle Symposium, and enjoy a summer celebration alongside fellow classmates on Saturday evening.

The North Coast Foot & Ankle Symposium will fill KSUCPM’s state-of-the-art lecture halls for an exciting three-day symposium featuring a roster of expert speakers eager to present new material on favorite topics. The symposium, renowned for the lowest registration rates in the industry, will kick off on Thursday morning to conclude Saturday evening, just in time for the evening alumni celebrations. Saturday evening, the campus grounds will serve as the backdrop for a relaxing summer dinner party with classmates in celebration of this year’s KSUCPM Hall of Fame inductees and alumni awards class.

The Hall of Fame & Alumni Awards Dinner will begin promptly at 6PM with the presentation of awards in Classroom C. Following the ceremony, guests will mingle with classmates and colleagues over cocktail hour on the campus patio, followed by dinner in a beautiful tent on campus grounds. This year, KSUCPM is proud to induct two very near and dear alumni into its Hall of Fame Society: Dr. Bryan Caldwell, DPM ‘89, MD; and Dr. Mark Hardy, DPM ‘98, FACFAS. Jacqueline Donovan, DPM ‘12 will receive the 2024 Young Physician Professional Achievement Award, and Molly Judge, DPM ‘94, FACFAS will take home this year’s Alumni Service Award. In addition, there will be two Distinguished Alumni Award recipients: Mark Saffer, DPM ‘67; and Jonathan Sharpe, DPM, FACFAS ‘04. KSUCPM is excited to celebrate these esteemed members of the community and hope that you may consider joining in their honor and in support of student scholarships, which all proceeds of the evening serve to benefit.
