On Monday, June 27, Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ University participated in the 2nd Annual Northeast Ohio Presidents’ Cup. The event promoted collaborative spirit among Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹, Youngstown State and Akron while serving as a scholarship fundraiser for all three institutions. This year’s event was hosted by Youngstown State and took place at the Avalon Golf and Country Club in Warren.

Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹ President, Beverly Warren, Youngstown State President, Jim Tressel, and Akron Athletic Director, Larry Williams addressed dinner attendees, each emphasizing the value the universities bring to Northeast Ohio and their continued mission to provide affordable education.
