YSU celebrates Centennial Spring Commencement

YOUNGSTOWN — In 1980, Janet K. Hartman took home an associate degree, and 28 years and four children later, found herself once again approaching a stage to receive a degree.

“I came back to school to teach in the public schools,” explained Hartman of Austintown, who got her bachelor of science degree in education at Youngstown State University as part of its Centennial Spring Commencement on Saturday in Beeghly Center. “I love teaching, always have, so it seemed natural to finish that off and go to the next level.”

Hartman, whose children are between 16 and 27, works part time at the Austintown Day Care Learning Center. She said she has a few leads on local teaching positions.
