No matter where you live there is a good chance that you will run into alumni of Youngstown State University. Our alumni chapters are represented across 14 states.
Youngstown State University announces the launch of its newly redesigned website, ysu.edu, created to deliver a faster, cleaner, and more user-friendly online experience.
The updated website features a modern design, improved navigation and enhanced functionality, making it easier than ever for prospective Penguins, students, faculty, alumni and the community to find the information they need. The site is fully responsive across all devices and built with accessibility and engagement at the forefront.
Mariah and Eliza Blasko, sisters from the Youngstown area, will walk across the stage together this May as they both graduate from Youngstown State University’s social work program – Mariah with her master’s and Eliza with her bachelor’s. The two have experienced their college years together in a way few siblings do, sharing friend groups and supporting each other both personally and academically. “Anytime Eliza has a new class, she asks me about it – what the professor’s like, help with assignments,” Mariah said. “It’s been kind of like doing the same thing at the same time.”
Youngstown State University is proud to announce the launch of a new Associate of Applied Science in Fire Science degree, beginning in Fall 2025. Offered entirely online through the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services, the program is designed to meet the increasing demand for professionally educated public safety personnel while remaining grounded in the values and needs of local communities.
