Welcome...

. . to The University of Akron -- an excellent educational choice, both in terms of quality and range of opportunities. Many people know of our internationally acclaimed polymer science and engineering programs. We also have received national recognition for our programs in international business, dance, law, applied politics, sales and marketing, industrial and organizational psychology, and engineering. Our programs set the standard for excellence and student success in northern Ohio, because our students work together with highly talented and dedicated faculty in a stimulating environment.

It is an exciting time to be involved with The University of Akron. Visit us, and you will find a campus that is creating a New Landscape for Learning. We have committed more than $200 million to construct six new buildings, expand or renovate 14 more, and add 30 acres of green space. What better environment is there for students to forge their futures, than in a place of change, growth and excitement?

The University of Akron’s vitality is derived from its connection to the pulse of industry, community and research. Our setting in the heart of a dynamic, regional economy allows us to build partnerships with businesses and governments, which in turn create career advantages for our students. Students in every discipline benefit from a full range of community resources and experiences that enhance their college experience and contribute to their professional careers. That is the Akron Advantage!

Come and visit us. Learn how, together, we will shape the future.

With every good wish,

	Sincerely,
	Luis M. Proenza
