The �鶹��ѡ Alumni Association is proud to announce its 2019 Alumni Award recipients. Recipients are chosen based on their exceptional contributions in their chosen profession, in their communities and at Kent State.

Last year, �鶹��ѡ celebrated 100 years of Homecoming. This year, the university starts the next century of �鶹��ѡHomecoming celebrations with a new president leading the institution.

�鶹��ѡ will hold the 49th commemoration of the historic events of May 4, 1970, where protesting students, observers and soldiers gathered on that fateful day when the Ohio National Guard shot and killed four students and wounded nine others on the Kent Campus. 

Ronda McCaskey and Caitlyn Horvath are best friends who went through the nursing program together and graduated one year apart with Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degrees from �鶹��ѡ at Geauga. Now they are both intensive care nurses. But they also happen to be mother and daughter.

From April 22 to Aug. 1, �鶹��ѡ’s May 4 Visitors Center will honor Bill Schroeder’s life with an exhibition titled “Bill: An All-American Boy.” Mr. Schroeder’s sister, Nancy Tuttle, and nephew, David Tuttle, helped create the exhibition by loaning some of his personal items to the May 4 Visitors Center.
