This program is designed to acclimate diverse and historically underrepresented students to The University of Akron campus.

Groups of students enroll in classes together receive individualized guidance and mentoring to enhance academic success both inside and outside of the classroom.

To help first-year students adjust to life in college we pair you with sophomores, juniors and seniors to meet regularly and also go to events and programs together.

OMD sponsors a variety of initiatives and activities that give the UA campus community chances to participate and honor our students. Pictured above UA alumni Matthew Cherry.
