Like most 17-year-olds, Selinda Floss is preparing for her upcoming graduation. But unlike most students her age, her graduation includes a bachelor's degree in criminology and justice studies from Kent State University at Ashtabula.

Floss, who participated in the College Credit Plus program and has previously earned an associate degree and plans to attend law school in the near future, was recently featured in The Star Beacon about her upcoming graduation.  

Kent State Ashtabula's 78th commencement ceremony will be held Thursday, May 9, 2024 in Susan J. Stocker Hall.

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.
