We’re looking for a few cool souls to come together to improve the Akron community. This half-day interactive workshop will explore how we connect as a community, how we improve openness, and how we strengthen the bonds that make Akron a great city. This FREE community workshop will take place Tue 8/23 from 1-5PM at the University of Akron Student Union, 303 Carroll Street, Akron, OH 44325.
