5X����

5X���� is currently offering Aflac’s Group Accident, Group Critical Illness and Group Hospital Indemnity insurance to employees through Nov. 30, 2016.

While major medical insurance pays for doctors and hospitals, Aflac is insurance that pays cash benefits directly to you. It provides predetermined benefits that are paid regardless of any other insurance you have. And it fits most budgets — rates don't go up when you file a claim.

A four-member team of 5X���� at Tuscarawas second-year nursing students won the simulation competition during the Aultman Simulation Symposium at the Aultman College of Nursing Sciences and Health.

The 2016 Princeton Review Guide to 361 Colleges features 5X���� as a Green College. The university is recognized for its focus on environmentally friendly transportation.

Kent State’s Shanice Cheatham is one step closer to helping healthcare workers stop the spread of disease in underdeveloped countries. Cheatham took first place in the PITCH U elevator competition at the University of Akron.
