Meet our USG

Meet our 2026-27 Kent State Trumbull USG Members

 

Emilia Colosimo

Hello! My name is Emilia Colosimo, and I serve as President of the Undergraduate Student Government at Kent State Trumbull. I am a proud BSN major, President of the Student Nurses Association and co-chair in the Honors Program. Nursing has always been my passion, and after graduation I plan to pursue travel nursing before returning to school to become a Nurse Anesthetist. I love adventure and enjoy immersing myself in new cultures through traveling, learning new languages, exploring nature and cooking cuisines from around the world.

One of my most memorable Kent State experiences was studying abroad in Florence, Italy, where I spent three months learning about international healthcare policy and the Italian language. That experience strengthened my love for global learning and encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. Through my work in USG, I want to inspire students to take chances — whether that means joining an organization, attending events, making new friends or studying abroad. My goal is to help create a vibrant, supportive campus where every Flash feels empowered to make the most of their time here.

Alyvia Suttle

Alyvia Suttle — Vice President

Hello! My name is Alyvia Suttle! I’m ecstatic and humbled to serve as your Vice President of the Undergraduate Student Government. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Nursing. I am a first-generation student who comes from a close-knit family that values education, honesty, and humility above all else, and that’s a belief I hold to this day. I’ve always been passionate about helping people since I was a young girl, always offering to stay after school, help clean up, etc. As I’ve grown and matured, I eventually transformed my passion into something that could be a lifelong career, which was nursing. However, that wasn’t the only reason why I chose nursing; the main reason I chose nursing was due to the fact that I feel there are unheard groups of people everywhere who can’t speak up for themselves and can’t be the voice they need for advocacy.

I’ve decided to make it my mission to be that voice for those who can’t or won’t speak. That’s not solely in nursing; I also intend to make it my mission as your Vice President. To be a voice for those who don’t have one and produce change along with my fellow officers. I’m excited to be able to encourage change within our school and be able to collaborate with the USG to create that a space where everyone feels welcomed, heard, and excited about our campus. College is hard on its own, so being able to build a community where we can make it easier for the people around us while creating a legacy for future generations is the reason why I joined USG. I can’t wait to see what the future of USG will become and what the future may hold.
GO FLASHES!!!

Arayna Seger

Arayna Seger — Treasurer

Hi! My name is Arayna Seger, and I am excited to serve as Treasurer for Undergraduate Student Government. I am currently double majoring in Psychology and Criminology at Kent State Trumbull and am a proud member of the Honors College. I am passionate about helping others, listening to different perspectives and learning something new every day — if I learn at least one new thing, I consider it a great day. On campus, I am also involved with the Psychology Club, and outside of school I work at a local farmers market, which I absolutely love because it keeps me connected to my community.

In the future, I plan to earn my doctorate degree, although I am still exploring exactly where that journey will take me. No matter what path I choose, my goal is to serve others and make a positive difference. When I am not studying or working, I enjoy spending time with my two cats, Asher and Draco, or with my sister, Mylee, who is my best friend and biggest inspiration. I am proud to be a Flash and hope every student finds success, stays kind and always does their best.

Jovana Pirivat

Jovana Pirivat — Secretary

Hello! My name is Jovana (pronounced ya-va-nuh), and I serve as Secretary for Undergraduate Student Government. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a concentration in clinical trials. I have always been interested in science, research and improving community health outcomes.

Joining USG has given me the opportunity to become more involved on campus while building leadership skills and connecting with other students. I enjoy meeting new people, collaborating on ideas and finding ways to enhance student life here at Kent State Trumbull. One of my main goals is to help create more engaging activities and opportunities so students feel just as connected and excited about campus life as they would at a larger university. I look forward to helping grow a welcoming and active campus community where every student feels encouraged to get involved and make meaningful connections.
