Student Organization Highlight

Revive's Alumni Panel

Revive's Alumni Panel

On October 8th, five former Revive presidents were invited to speak at an alumni panel event. David and Brielle Loughney, Brendan Romigh, Neil Hoxworth and Donovan Byler reflected on their time at Kent Stark, spoke about life after college, expressed what Revive meant to them and how it impacted their lives, and gave advice to current students on making the most of their college experience. Current students were then encouraged to ask the alumni questions of their own. After the panel, past and current students connected with discussion. It was a valuable experience for all who attended.
