Meet our staff! Commuter Central is comprised of Commuter Student Assistants (CSA) that here to be a sources of information and liaisons between the campus and commuter students. Each CSA is an upperclassmen (we’ve learned a thing or two about college life!) and commutes to campus. We hope that you’ll stop by Commuter Central inside The Hub in the Student Union for a visit!
As a commuter you are part of a very large and diverse group of students. The University of Akron recognizes that commuter students have
other priorities outside of the class room and have special needs. In
the effort to support and assist all commuter students, The University
of Akron has established Commuter Central.
We urge you to become active members in the campus community and
experience the endless opportunities that The University of Akron offers!
