The associate of applied science degree program in radiologic technology on the СƬƵ Salem Campus recently received continued accreditation status from the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology for a period of eight years.

The national accreditation body awarded the СƬƵ Salem program the highest level possible, with the program meeting all 53 standards and no citations when reviewed earlier this year by a site visit team from the JRCERT.

While on campus, the JRCERT site-visit team met with administrators, clinical personnel, program faculty, student services personnel and students. The team complimented program personnel on a well-organized program with dedicated staff.

Additionally, 100 percent of the 2016 graduates of the СƬƵ Salem radiologic technology program passed the national certification examination and their job placement rate is 90 percent since graduation in May.

The radiologic technology personnel include Jan Gibson, senior program director; Judith Miller, clinical coordinator; Margie Iagulli, senior lecturer; Kelly Dragomir, lecturer and clinical coordinator; and Sherry DeWitt, secretary.

СƬƵ at Salem offers an associate of applied science in radiologic technology, as well as a bachelor’s degree in radiologic and imaging sciences technology with concentrations in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic medical sonography and radiation therapy.

СƬƵ at Salem held its 2025 nursing convocation and pinning ceremony during which students received their nursing pins and recited the Florence Nightingale pledge. All are receiving degrees this spring and summer through the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program on the Salem Campus. 

СƬƵ at East Liverpool held its annual nursing pinning ceremony May 8,  during which 23 students were recognized for receiving degrees through the associate degree in nursing (ADN) program. 

After nearly four decades at СƬƵ, Denise A. Seachrist, Ph.D., is retiring from her role as dean and chief administrative officer of СƬƵ at Stark and СƬƵ at Salem. Her retirement on June 30, 2025, marks the conclusion of a career dedicated to education, community and the arts.

Reflecting on her time at СƬƵ, Seachrist said, “СƬƵ has been more than a workplace — it’s been home. The people here have shaped my career, my life and my sense of purpose. I will always carry that with me.”
