The College of Public Health Welcomes Freida Boland and Gretchen Thomas

The College of Public Health is pleased to welcome two new members to our family: Freida Boland and Gretchen Thomas.

Freida Boland serves as an administrative secretary. She retired from Kent State University in January 2020 with 30 years of service to various departments/colleges on campus. After retirement, Boland felt she needed a little more structure to her day and applied for a part time job in the College of Public Health. She lives in Rootstown with her husband, Don, who is also a KSU retiree, and has two sons and three grandchildren.
