Ohio – just like other states across the country – struggles with providing access to mental health services, as well as a shortage of social workers. In response to this situation, Kent State University’s College of Applied and Technical Studies last year launched its Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program, aimed at addressing these significant challenges with a concentration on rural social work – a recognized need in areas where many of the Kent State Regional Campuses are located.

Kent State University at East Liverpool is preparing for its annual Earth Day Environmental Justice Conference to be held April 20 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. 

This year's theme is The Impact of World Conflicts and Wars on the Environment.

Admission to the conference is free and all students are encouraged to participate. Organizers are now accepting papers, posters and presentations related to environmental justice issues.

When the local front page shared the news that Jacob Logan was named director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Salem, faculty and staff on the Kent State Columbiana County campuses could not have been any prouder.

That’s because Logan was a standout student on the Kent State Salem Campus, earning an associate degree in horticulture (with a concentration in arboriculture/urban forestry) and a bachelor’s degree in applied horticulture in 2012, after beginning his college journey as a student on the East Liverpool Campus.
