Kent State University has named Ann Gosky director of its Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement, following a national search. Gosky served previously as interim director.
Gosky brings to the position more than 37 years’ experience in higher education and a wealth of experience developing and implementing programs and initiatives in support of experiential education and civic engagement.
Prior to joining Kent State’s Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement, Gosky served as an assistant director for International Student Affairs (currently the Office of Global Education) and associate director of Campus Life (currently the Center for Student Involvement). She joined the Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement in 2007 as a senior special assistant, launching many initiatives, such as Alternative Spring Break; the Bridge Program, a weekly program that provides meals for the homeless and transitional populations in Akron; and the Campus Kitchen at Kent State, which prepares more than 350 meals weekly for students and Portage and Summit county residents. In addition, Gosky has served in a leadership position with the university’s Undergraduate Research Symposium.
“Ann is a well-respected Kent State professional and community member, giving a lot of her own time to help individuals and families who need additional support,” says Eboni Pringle, Ph.D., dean of Kent State’s University College. “She is a past board member of the King-Kennedy Center and currently serves on the boards of Change Hunger Portage County and Springtime of Hope, to name a few, and has given countless volunteer hours on campus and in the community. I am very excited to have Ann serve as director of the Office of Experiential Education and Civic Engagement and look forward to her continued success.”
