James C. Hannon, Ph.D., began his appointment as interim dean and chief administrative officer of Kent State Salem and Kent State Stark on July 1. “I’m truly excited to begin this new chapter alongside everyone at the Salem and Stark campuses. I’m quickly learning that these are warm, dedicated and passionate communities and I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining them,” he said.

Attending Kent State Stark in the fall, Canton teen once questioned future.

Aireanna Tyson didn’t always see college in her future. Growing up in Canton’s inner city, she knew what it was like to feel far from the classroom — where real life could pull your focus away from school, and college felt like something for someone else.

“I wasn’t really going to classes. I wasn’t doing homework,” she said. “It hit me that if I didn’t buckle down, I wouldn’t even graduate.”

Congratulations, Flashes!
