Demonstrating the power of performance and the art of accomplishment.

  • We are the front door through which thousands of people come to The University of Akron for art exhibitions, theatre and dance performances, music concerts and much more. Our ZTV and WZIP-FM are enjoyed throughout the region and the world.
  • We serve the community by providing cultural and artistic enrichment, economic development, teacher preparation, and communication programs.
  • We place a premium on learning by doing. Our students study side-by-side with talented and caring faculty members who are committed to helping students turn their aspirations into accomplishments.
  • We help stars learn to shine — on the stage and in the classroom, on the radio and in the artist's studio, on our campus and in our community.
