East Liverpool Nursing Faculty is Finalist for 2016 Teaching Award

Kent State University at Salem recently held its annual awards ceremony, during which students were recognized for their scholastic achievements. Also, during the event, The Marion G. Resch Foundation received the 2024 Friends of the Campus award, the highest honor presented annually to non-students.

The annual award recognizes community members and businesses that support increasing access to higher education in Salem and surrounding communities. The Resch Foundation and the Kent State Salem Campus have a long-standing partnership that supports the Rising Scholars program in Columbiana County.

A small group of nursing students took on a project with big results this semester: stocking Flash’s Food Pantry on the East Liverpool Campus.

The students began a campaign this semester to collect non-perishable food items, as well as personal hygiene items, and it was a total success. The shelves of the pantry are now filled with canned goods, cereal, rice, noodles, tuna, peanut butter, pancake mix, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, baby food and much more.

For the second year, OTA students in the Student Occupational Therapy Assistant (SOTA) Club at Kent State East Liverpool celebrated “April is OT Month” with a community project to serve the House of Grace, a ministry of Grace City Church in East Liverpool.
