Â鶹´«Ã½ at Salem recently recognized two employees for exemplary teaching and service to the campus for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Krista Hawkins was named outstanding faculty member and Deborah Hoopes was recognized as the outstanding staff member.

Each was selected based on nominations from students, staff and faculty members of the Salem Campus.

Hoopes has 13 years of service as a custodian with Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s maintenance and grounds department. Her first four years were spent on the Kent Campus and the last nine years have been on the Salem Campus.

While a bit reluctant to talk about herself, Hoopes is known on campus for her hard work and dedication to Kent. She always takes the initiative to do what needs done and takes great pride in making the campus shine. Read the full story.
