Retiree RecognitionDr. JosephKuvshinikov Associate Professor,Accounting & Business Technology

related technologies. Additionally, he has helped develop curriculum in fraud examinination and entrepreneurial degree track programs.

He is the author of several technical and professional articles and book chapters.
While teaching a number of different subjects, Kuvshinikov was always focused on developing and unveiling leadership in students.
In retirement, Kuvshinikov plans to continue to travel internationally and work on two books focusing on international leadership, trust and cultures.
John StokerAssistant Professor,English
John Stoker, who began teaching on the Ashtabula campus in 1997, is wrapping up a 40-year academic career this spring. During his time here, he taught
mostly composition courses (English I & II) but also American Literature, Literature in English, African-American Literature and Great Books. Stoker also taught at the Kent State Geauga campus and at the University of Akron and Lakeland Community College.
A member of the American Association of University Professors and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), Stoker founded the writing center at Kent State Ashtabula and served as its director for 12 years. He also served on numerous committees and panels during his tenure and was twice awarded certificates of special recognition from the Kent State Ashtabula student council. One of his favorite memories of his time on campus was showing the daughter of one of the writing center tutors, to her wonder and delight, Harry Eisenhower’s fanciful animal sculptures in the library.
Outside the classroom, Stoker has performed as a folksinger throughout Northeast Ohio and wrote and released two CDs. In retirement, he plans to spend his time pursing creative endeavors he has long neglected.
