The University of Akron formally welcomed the Class of 2025 during New Student Convocation on Friday.

Among the speakers was ¹ú²úÂ×Àí President Gary L. Miller, who encouraged the new students to get involved on campus and across Akron.

"You’re attending college in a great American city," Miller said. "Get to know it. Become part of it.

"You have talent. You have energy," he added. "Find a way to use that to make a difference in this community."

Those words were echoed by Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan and Undergraduate Student Government President Grace Kasunic, both of whom also addressed the students.
