On January 29, administrators from the Kettering Health Network (KHN) visited Oakwood University to share KHN's mission and ministry, and explore ways to match Oakwood's mission and impact.
The Kettering team included George Lewis, Oakwood alumnus and president of Kettering Physician Network; David Gordon, Recruitment Manager, Kettering Health Network; Keith Jenkins, HR Director, Grandview and Southview Medical Centers; and William Ragland, Leadership Partner, Grandview and Southview Medical Centers.
The day began with a breakfast discussion with OU administrators and academic department heads. Lewis stated that their goal is to "expand our partnership with Oakwood University with intentional efforts on recruiting students for internships and full-time positions."
Organized by Career Services Director, Sonia Paul, the KHN administrators presented the weekly chapel program, conducted student interviews and an information session, and hosted dinner with a small group of students representing various academic departments.
David Gordon expressed gratitude for the "excellent hospitality," and said that the Kettering team "felt a strong connection with the Oakwood administration, department heads, and students. We anticipate follow-up visits that will strengthen our partnership, and we look forward to engaging the students for internships and full-time positions. We are excited for where this will take us and look forward to connecting again, soon!"
