Kent State University at Ashtabula will honor the spring graduating class when it holds the campus’s 80th commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 8, 2025, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Susan J. Stocker Hall gymnasium.

“Commencement is a major milestone in the lives of our students,” said Dean and Chief Administrative Officer R. William (Bill) Ayres IV, Ph.D. “It’s such a special night to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of these graduates here on campus and in the familiar and intimate environment the event deserves.”

Kent State’s Regional Campuses were well-represented at the Association for University Regional Campuses of Ohio (AURCO) annual conference, during which Olivia Rice, a psychology student from Kent State Salem, earned a first-place ranking for her research poster. The conference was held earlier this month at Ohio University in Chillicothe.

Rice received the E. Ted Bunn Student Excellence Award-Best Poster for her research project titled “Undergraduate Student Benefits: Research Within Community Outreach.”
