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.

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.

Healthcare professionals are in high demand and needed everywhere.

Several programs on the Salem and East Liverpool campuses have specific, individual application processes – including their own deadlines.
