Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Engaged and Emerging Professionals
All Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University Employees are invited to join the "Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Engaged and Emerging Professionals."
The Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ Engaged and Emerging Professionals (KEEP) group targets any university employee that identifies as an emerging or engaged leader.
KEEP is focused on three goals:
- To provide opportunities for its members to grow professionally.
- To organize service options and give its members a chance to give back to the greater community.
- To serve as a base to meet other engaged and emerging professionals in the area.
In reaching these goals, KEEP will leverage cross-divisional collaboration, will increase university pride and engagement, and will build stronger relationships with the greater community. We currently offer virtual events and a Microsoft Teams channel for connecting. If you're interested in leadership opportunities, please email Nzinga Hart, KEEP Chair, at keep@kent.edu.
