Sarah M. Rendino (Ricketson)

Manager
University Dining Services
Kent Campus

JOB DESCRIPTION:

I currently oversee two small dining locations on campus. I employ several students to help maintain the location. I do ordering and inventory, along with staying in the parameters of a budget. I also work closely with the students to give them a good working experience and to be an encouraging role model to them.

WORKED AT KENT STATE SINCE:

August 2004

EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO KENT STATE UNIVERSITY:

Cravings Deli & Bagel, which was located in the Kent Student Center Hub before the location was remodeled.

LIKES MOST ABOUT KENT STATE UNIVERSITY:

Working with the students and co-workers. I try to give them a good working experience, but I think I benefit from it more. There is no day that is the same when you are working with the students, and that makes it so much more enjoyable from day to day. No day is ever boring!

ATTRACTION TO KENT STATE UNIVERSITY AS AN EMPLOYER:

This campus is gorgeous! I love driving in when the leaves turn in the fall. When I leave late at night, you can see the deer taking their turn to run the campus for the night. I just love the wildlife that you see around here. Every turn you make, you see something that is beautiful.

RESIDES IN:

Massillon, Ohio

HOMETOWN:

Copley, Ohio

EDUCATION:

I’m currently attending classes here at Kent State for business management.

HOBBIES:

I love all things paranormal. I take several trips throughout the year to old buildings and cemeteries that have some claim of paranormal activity. I adore my dogs; they are my babies! I enjoy flea markets and yard sales. I’m always up to taking a trip to a new place. Then, every chance that I get, I spend with my family!
