INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE
Inclusive Excellence is a core value at The University of Akron. We are expanding services through two new entities:
- The Multicultural Center
- The Student Success Center
Many successful programs you value — multicultural student orientation, learning communities, Rethinking Race, peer mentoring, Black Male Summit and more — are continuing to thrive.
