For the first time in its history, Kent State University's Regional Campus Bachelor of Nursing (BSN) students participated in White Coat ceremonies.

Sophomore BSN students entering the professional nursing sequence from Geauga, Kent, Salem, Stark and Trumbull took an oath and completed the ceremony that sets a standard for healthcare professionals. 

In this season of celebration and giving thanks, Salem native Lori Singer-Bare is grateful for being in the right place at the right time, again. 

Singer-Bare is finishing her first semester as a lecturer in the criminology and justice studies program at Kent State University at Trumbull and as an instructor at Kent State's Police Academy. 

After graduating from Hiram College in 2009, Singer-Bare enlisted in the United States Army. Over the last 13 years on active duty, she has served as a military police officer, drill sergeant, and special operations sergeant
