On Saturday, Sept. 23, in observance of National Public Lands Day, students from Â鶹´«Ã½'s Recreation, Park and Tourism Management program and the program joined other volunteers in planting trees in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Professors in Kent State's Recreation, Park and Tourism Management program, Andrew Lepp, Ph.D., and Philip Wang, Ph.D.,were also part of the group. This program is from the School of Foundations, Leadership and Administration within Kent State's College of Education, Health and Human Services.
