It is with regret that we are postponing the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering (CPSPE) Alumni and Industry Days event previously scheduled for April 30 - May 1, 2020.
We now have restrictions on holding large gatherings due to concerns related to COVID-19. It is very unlikely that this restriction will be lifted in time to host the Alumni & Industry Days event on April 30th.
We want to thank you for your willingness to participate and join us in this celebration, and we hope that you will be available when we reschedule the event this Fall 2020.

INTRODUCING THE AKRON POLYMER STUDENT ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP!
Faculty members in the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering (CPSPE) take tremendous pride in the work their students produce, and they go to great lengths in providing monies via grants to provide them with support. On occasion, a student will need more time to complete their degree than what was planned, or a grant may not be renewed, leaving faculty members and students in a financial dilemma.
For the sake of our students we have therefore established the Akron Polymer Student Endowed Scholarship; a scholarship created to provide funding for students in CPSPE to be able to complete their Ph.D. study when a need arises. Perhaps you also found yourself in need of contingency support while in college?
We thank you for your consideration and generous donation, which provides support to our students on their way to change the world!
