Positive Impact

Kent State Regional Campuses extend their congratulations to the exceptional students who have been named to the President's List and Dean's List. Their outstanding academic achievements demonstrate remarkable dedication, hard work and academic excellence.

Those named to the President's List have attained the highest distinction by earning a 4.00 grade point average while enrolled in 15 or more letter-graded credit hours.

Few regional campus students at Kent State University are aware of research opportunities through the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program. KSU Twinsburg Academic Center biochemistry major Zaniya Houston is an exception.

During summer 2025, this pre-med sophomore gained valuable lab research experience in the eight-week SURE program with the support of a stipend and under the mentorship of two TAC faculty members, Dr. Sanhita Gupta, Professor of Biological Sciences, and Prof. Mahli Mechenbier, Senior Lecturer in the Department of English.

During the Scholarship Luncheon at Kent State Geauga - Twinsburg Academic Center on October 28, 2025, Zariyah Brantley became the first Michael Leposa Memorial Scholarship recipient [pictured below]. A Twinsburg High School graduate, Zariyah is a sophomore psychology major at TAC.

“It was bittersweet but so nice and special,” said Diane Leposa, the mother of this scholarship’s namesake.
