Congratulations to Trocaire Alumna, Dr. Susan Stocker ’78<\/strong> on the dedication of Susan J. Stocker Hall at Kent State Ashtabula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Stocker retired from Kent State Ashtabula in 2022 after more than 30 years of service to the university. She led the campus as Dean and Chief Administrative Officer for 21 years and was the longest-serving dean in Kent State\u2019s history at the time of her retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Stocker\u2019s enduring legacy of compassion, service, education, and action embodies the cherished Mercy values of Catherine McAuley. The Trocaire community is proud to have Susan as an alumna.
