OCA remembers Carole Barbato
Carole Barbato, Ph.D., Kent State University, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, April 30, 2014. She was a long-time member of OCA and a strong advocate for the organization.
According to Dr. Stanley Wearden, Dean of KSU’s College of Communication and Information, “In addition to teaching for many years in Communication Studies at the East Liverpool, Salem, and Kent campuses, Carole also served on a number of master’s and dissertation committees, served on KSU’s Faculty Senate for many years, and was instrumental – working with Dr. Laura Davis – in funding and creating the May 4th Visitors Center. Carole was here as a Kent State student on that traumatic day, and she spent her entire career finding constructive ways to help all of us – students, colleagues, and community – learn from that moment in history so that we might not repeat it.”
