April McClellan-Copeland


I joined Kent State on the first day of classes in 2017 after serving eight years at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, where I was known as the Chief Storyteller in the Community Relations Department. I began working at the Fed after a 25-year career as a newspaper reporter, 14 of which I spent at The Plain Dealer, where I covered government, schools, social services and minority affairs, among many other topics. I've also worked at newspapers in Kansas City, Belleville, Illinois, and Arlington Texas.
