Counseling Program to mark 50th year

YOUNGSTOWN

The Counseling Program at Youngstown State University will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a banquet April 4, in the Chestnut Room of Kilcawley Center, including an award for the program’s first graduate.

The evening begins with a wine and beer social at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6 p.m. and an awards program at 6:45 p.m. Among the honorees is Peg Kinnick, who in 1969 was YSU’s first Counseling program graduate. She retired after 37 years as a school counselor and director of guidance at West Branch Schools.

The cost for the event is $50 per person, $20 for students and $350 for a table of eight. Reservations are due Monday. Proceeds benefit the 50th Anniversary Counseling Endowment at the YSU Foundation.
