OTA Students Dig in at Entrance to City, Locke House

OTA Students Help Make City Shine

East Liverpool Mayor Ryan Stovall caught up with OTA students

Students from Kent State East Liverpool’s occupational therapy assistant program gathered at the downtown entrance ramp to the city to help spruce up the “serpentine” landscape of that area by pulling weeds, trimming shrubs, raking mulch and picking up litter.

They joined efforts with the East Liverpool-Calcutta Garden Club members, who maintain that area of the city’s landscape.

Once finished, the students walked to The Locke House and cleaned up the landscaping and lawn at that location.

Since the pandemic a few years ago, the Undergraduate Student Government group was somewhat inactive on the East Liverpool Campus, but it’s been reenergized by a group of interested students.

The group has hosted luncheons over the past few weeks and is busy planning a slate of activities for the remainder of the semester, including a game/movie night; a student newsletter; and luncheons. The group also hopes to create a game room in Purinton Hall and to organize pickle ball teams. USG will also help represent the campus in the East Liverpool Christmas parade.
