Students from Champion, Howland, LaBrae, and Lordstown school districts will attend the second annual JA Inspire event held on November 16, 2018, at the campus of Kent State University at Trumbull. 

For demonstrating exceptional performance in advancing the university’s strategic goals, Kent State University at Trumbull’s instructional designer, Sean Melnik, has earned the President's Award of Distinction. 

Kent State President Beverly Warren presented the award to Melnik last week in front of faculty and staff. Kathy Dwinnels, associate professor and Nursing Coordinator, nominated him for the award. 

Junior Achievement of the Mahoning Valley’s has named Kent State University at Trumbull its 2018 Volunteer Organization of the Year.  

Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs and Junior Achievement of Mahoning Valley board member, Dr. Dan Palmer, accepted the award at  Junior Achievement's annual Recognition Breakfast. 

“This is a rewarding partnership,” said Palmer. “We enjoy working with the students to teach them skills that will hopefully help them make connections between what they learn in the classroom and life skills they will need to know to prosper.”  

On Wednesday, May 2, Trumbull Career & Technical Center (TCTC) celebrated more than 20 senior students with confirmed plans to attend either Kent State or Kent State University at Trumbull this fall.

Upon graduation, TCTC encourages students to choose an "E" for Enrollment, Employment or Enlistment. More than 60 soon-to-be graduates signed up to participate in one of three signing days.
