​�ċ�ċ�ċ�ċTwinsburg Academic Center Celebrates 10 Years

The Twinsburg Academic Center celebrated the 10th anniversary at its current location by hosting a public open house on Sept. 13, 2022. Alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students, business leaders and community members were invited for a commemoration, tour and refreshments.

Speakers at the event highlighted ������’s commitment to making higher education accessible, affordable and relevant to the local community and its workforce, thanks to vibrant community engagement.

While the academic center building has been a landmark on Creekside Drive for a decade, the Geauga Campus has offered workforce development classes in Twinsburg since 1990. As demand for courses grew, a LEED-certified facility, then known as the Regional Academic Center, was built in 2012 as a satellite of the Geauga Regional Campus. The 44,000-square-foot, two-story building is located within a 30-minute drive for students in a four-county area.

In late 2019, its name was officially changed to the Twinsburg Academic Center to better reflect the community it serves. Through Kent State Geauga, the Twinsburg Academic Center now offers a range of courses, including business, accounting and computer science, as well as professional development and educational opportunities for employees. Educational offerings range from non-credit continuing education, workforce development, job training and executive development courses to two- and four-year degrees and even online master’s degrees.

The center also helps address ongoing staffing shortages in healthcare, offering the Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing (ADN). This program prepares students for the registered nursing profession in community hospitals, clinics and home healthcare settings.

Noting the partnerships the center has nurtured with the city of Twinsburg and its business and service leaders, Angela Spalsbury, PhD, the center’s dean and chief administrative officer, says, “We keep our finger on the pulse of emerging workplace trends and offer the training to meet those needs.”
