Jaiden Morales BS '22, Lorain, Ohio
At Kent State’s fall commencement on Dec. 17, 2022, Jaiden Morales earned his bachelor's degree in digital media production, an accomplishment motivated by passion that was ignited in high school.
Soon afterward, Morales stepped into the shoes of one of the guardian angels who put him on the path to recognizing his passion for multi media early in life and encouraged him to pursue it as a career.
Kent State's digital media program prepared Morales to succeed his mentor, Joseph Bock, as the multimedia coordinator at Lorain High School, where Morales' future began. The coursework at Kent State put Morales in the position to assume the opportunity.
For one of his final courses at Kent State Morales chose to create a project about his high school's career tech program. "The opportunity to do this project is what really started the talk for my full-time position. They really enjoyed my work and because Joe Bock is retiring, they found it a perfect opportunity."
