TESTIMONIALS

"On behalf of the OSAE Board of Directors, I would like to thank you and your staff at The University Center, Kent State University at Stark, for serving as such gracious hosts for the 2010 OSAE Annual Conference & Marketplace. It is certainly a facility to be proud of and the staff is superb...We received many complimentary comments from the conference and tradeshow attendees..."

"...The Kent State conference center is easily one of the best facilities I have ever been in. It is unreal. The Kent State staff members lovingly refer to their facility as “The Palace” and I can see why. Every room is any instructor’s dream and the catering is impeccable. Today’s participants were treated to breakfast including fresh fruit, waffles, and a vast coffee bar. And lunch was even more impressive…a buffet that included cocktail shrimp, salad bar, two different entrees, and desserts galore! It was an amazing experience. And Willie Shoemaker and Jeanne Cramer from Kent State were so hospitable. I hope I am invited back because I would accept in an instant!"

"Our event was a huge success due, in part, to the hard work and diligent attention and response from the KSU staff. [The event planner] was a joy to work with and made the planning as easy as it could be. IT was flawless! KSU staff was prompt, attentive and responsed with a positive attitude. We also received many positive comments about the facility [and] the food. People especially loved the lunch menu."

 “The University Center provides the atmosphere that ensures successful meetings and workshops. Their facility is first-class and the staff is outstanding. Having worked with their staff many times during the past several years, not once have we been taken for granted. Everyone does their utmost to make sure our needs are met, and they know the importance of satisfying their customers.”

‘In May of 2000, we earned the distinction of being the University Center’s first customer. Since then, we have continued to utilize this outstanding facility to ensure the success of our educational programs and meetings. We value the world-class design, superior technology and personalized service that the center provides to our organization.”

I wanted to take a moment to commend you and your staff on their efficiency and professional / kind attitudes that are displayed every time I hold a meeting (whether large or small) at your conference center.  This past February, I held three sessions and each one proceeded without a flaw.  From Lin who is at the front desk meeting our every request or anticipating our next need to Josh who is able to troubleshoot every AV dilemma to the Chef and his colleagues that make every meal healthy and delicious to Becky and Michelle who help contract exactly what our meeting needs are -- Every experience is positive and professional! Thank you for the time and effort that it takes to assist our meetings and most of all for every associate at the conference center that always expresses a wonderful demeanor and positive attitude.  I look forward to our next event!
