Graduation for the Class of 2023 will take place on Saturday, June 3, inside E.J. Thomas Performance Hall. We are super excited to celebrate and recognize this very special class. Listen carefully around 2:15 p.m. on that day, as I am sure you will hear our applause … even from downtown Akron.
Here are just a few of the amazing accomplishments of the 223 graduates in this class:
Scholarships Earned: Drum roll, please.
