Dr. David Dees, Dean of the Kent State University Columbiana County Regional Campuses in Salem and East Liverpool is our guest for this episode. He tells us about the opportunities students in Columbiana County have available to them to earn competitive, full four-year Kent State University degrees without leaving the county, and at a fraction of the cost of many other colleges and universities. You may be surprised by how many bachelor's and associates degrees are offered at the regional campuses. Dean Dees also discusses programs like Rural Scholars program, capital investment to improve the student life experience, and other programs that help students make the transition to college life. We also learn a bit about Dean Dees's own college experience and how it informed many of his initiatives.
