This week, KSUCPM welcomed U.S. Senator Jon Husted to campus! 🇺🇸

Our second and third year students gave Senator Husted a firsthand look at campus during his time in Cleveland to celebrate the opening of two of the Cleveland Clinic's new state-of-the-art research buildings in the Cleveland Innovation District.

We were honored to showcase our students, our college and the important role podiatric medicine plays in the region’s healthcare ecosystem.

Thank you to Senator Husted for taking the time to visit and connect with our students!

After an incredible 46 years of dedicated service to KSUCPM, we are celebrating the retirement of our beloved Library Director, Donna Perzeski!

"This truly has been a great place to work because of the people. The students, faculty and staff have made this a hard decision and my many years of wonderful memories will include all of you. I have life-long friends made over so many years and fantastic students and alumni all over the country," Donna says.

After nearly five decades of service helping generations of students, faculty, staff and alumni, Donna feels like part of our brand! Often one of the first questions we hear from alumni out in the wild is "Is Donna still there?". We'll now be happy to report that she's happy, healthy, and enjoying retirement with her husband!

Please join us in sharing your memories, congratulating, and thanking Donna for her 46 years of service! We'll be sharing the comments with her before her last day on September 8th.

A legacy woven into the history of our college - Donna will be missed!

🎉 Bigs, Littles, and New Beginnings! 🎉
Today, the Class of 2030 met their Bigs from the Class of 2029 at our annual Big/Little Meet-Up!
This tradition is one of many ways KSUCPM fosters connection, mentorship, and community from day one. Our newest students had the opportunity to meet their Bigs, build new friendships, and begin creating the support network that will help guide them through their podiatric medical school journey.
We are excited to see these relationships grow throughout the year and can’t wait to watch the Class of 2030 thrive with the support of their KSUCPM family.
💙💛 Welcome to the KSUCPM community!
