Miya Timura

My decision to go to The University of Akron has been one that I will never regret. I decided early to do the accelerated program and was able to obtain a Master’s degree in just five years. The attention, assistance, and knowledge I received from the professors greatly affected my experience and allowed me to have a successful internship and a full-time offer before I graduated.
