The word Akron means “peak” or “highest point.” It’s a fitting name for this place: not only because our campus is situated on top of a hill, but because we’re only headed up. For 150 years, we’ve been rising. Now, we’re ready to reach even greater heights.
When we make it possible for the region’s best and brightest students to come here to be educated, enlightened, and transformed, they go on to lead lives of purpose and significance.
Our dedicated faculty and staff instill a mindset of hard work, tenacity, respect, and resilience. They make this place what it is every day. With your support, we can make it even better.
This is a place of enormous potential and possibilities. As we look toward our future, we set our sights on strategic goals that will help us lead the way into a bold new tomorrow.
Akron has always been one of America’s leading centers of innovation, and Northeast Ohio has some of the nation’s best IP attorneys.

We are an urban research university, inspired by our people, place and promises.
