East Liverpool Campus Promotes Breast Cancer Awareness

Purinton Hall in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness MonthMary Patterson Building promoting Breast Cancer Awareness MonthMost people know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but the East Liverpool Campus is doing its best to remind everyone of this important issue. Pink ribbons now hang in the windows of the Mary Patterson Building and Purinton Hall, showing the support of students and employees to this awareness campaign.

The campus is participating in an initiative by CHANGE Inc., a service organization in Hancock County, W.Va., to involve area businesses in raising the level of awareness about the importance of breast cancer screenings and early detection.

Employees helped print and cut out the ribbons, with many writing messages of hope or remembrance on the ribbons.

Greetings:
By the time you read this, we will have wrapped up another successful academic year on the Kent State Salem and East Liverpool campuses. The past several weeks were filled with a flurry of activities that mark the culmination of hard work by our students, faculty, administrators and staff, while also helping to define our place in the communities in which we are based.

Kent State University at East Liverpool held its annual nursing pinning ceremony May 9, during which 30 students were recognized for receiving degrees through the associate degree in nursing (ADN) program.

Commencement ceremonies were held May 10 for the Kent State Columbiana County campuses for Summer 2023, Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 graduates earning associate and baccalaureate degrees.
