Shianne Cunningham Freshman | Music Education “I feel a lot better now after reading Dr. Scarborough’s letter in my Zip Mail. I intended to go to The University of Akron and if it changed, I would feel as if it’s a different school.”

Andrew Vandierendonck Grad Student | Sports Administration “I love the idea. I think the university has developed this name over time and if changed, it would ruin its reputation.”
Treyvon Hoover Freshman | Sports Management “The University of Akron sounds more authentic, because it is.”
Darijha McCollum Freshman | Pre-Med “I am ecstatic because I feel like changing the name within the next four years would change my demeanor from what it originally was when I started this past August.”
Tone Turner Freshman | Social Work “I like the idea of there being no plans to change the name because I applied to attend a fouryear university that is all encompassing to all majors, not a technical school.”
