James Crowley, CNP
"Working at Kent State provides incredible benefits, one of which I have been able to utilize twice in my career. My friends, family, and spouse were so impressed with the six-week paid paternity leave and how generous Kent State was with this time off. It was great to be able to bond with my growing family knowing that my Kent State family was supporting me while I was away."
Ambre Emory-Maier, MFA, MA, E-RYT500, YAECP

Joe Walker
"Being employed at Kent State has afforded me the opportunity to send my two sons to college and watch one graduate with a Bachelor's Degree, and has allowed me to complete my undergraduate studies and receive my Bachelor's Degree. I have also been a part of initiatives and conversations that have produced changes and improvements in the way Kent State has served its employees; at Kent State, I’m a part of great minds coming up with great ideas, and implementing new procedures with the expectation of leaving their footprint on the world."
