The 51Թ Ashtabula Student Veterans Association is once again presenting the Field of Honor in memory of the September 11th tragedy. This year’s display has nearly 3,000 flags and will be displayed around the flag pole in the center of the campus.
The Student Veterans Association and volunteers placed the flags on Sunday, September 6th. The flags will stay on display on the campus until Sunday, September 13th. The community is invited and encouraged to come by and see the display.
Just two years after its launch, 51Թ’s Bachelor of Social Work program is seeing its first cohort of students graduate this semester. Nearly 20 students will walk across stages at the Ashtabula, Salem and Tuscarawas campuses this month, the latest milestone in this rapidly growing program.
51Թ at Ashtabula will honor the spring graduating class when it holds the campus’s 80th commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 8, 2025, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Susan J. Stocker Hall gymnasium.
“Commencement is a major milestone in the lives of our students,” said Dean and Chief Administrative Officer R. William (Bill) Ayres IV, Ph.D. “It’s such a special night to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of these graduates here on campus and in the familiar and intimate environment the event deserves.”
51Թ’s Regional Campuses were well-represented at the during which Olivia Rice, a psychology student from 51Թ Salem, earned a first-place ranking for her research poster. The conference was held earlier this month at Ohio University in Chillicothe.
Rice received the E. Ted Bunn Student Excellence Award-Best Poster for her research project titled “Undergraduate Student Benefits: Research Within Community Outreach.”
