Flash Focus: Morgan Bedilion

Welcome to Flash Focus! In this series, we introduce you to fascinating student Flashes from all walks of life. Meet Morgan Bedilion, a senior costume design technology and production major from Hartville, Ohio. With an educational background in the Miller South School for the Visual Arts and Akron School for the Arts at Firestone CLC, Bedilion considers herself an Akronite.Bedilion’s interest in historical fashion and previous interest in musical theater motivated her to change her major to costume design technology and production shortly after becoming a Golden Flash.“I immediately fell...

Honors College Excited to Grow and Welcome the Class of 2028

First-year Honors College students gather for a class photo at the fall 2024 ice cream social outside of Stopher-Johnson Halls.

Numbers in the Honors College are growing again this year, with 693 first-year students in this fall’s class of 2028, exceeding last year’s count of 593 first-year students. With 23.8% of students traveling from out-of-state, 27 international students from 10 different countries, and 76.2% of students home-grown right here in Ohio, the Honors College is continuing to exceed expectations in enrollment. They’re not looking back anytime soon though -  this year’s class of first-year students has again broken the record for largest incoming class in the history of the Honors Co...

Upgrades to the Financial Aid Dashboard

In late September, the FlashLine Self-Service portal for financial aid and scholarships, called the “Financial Aid Dashboard,” will be upgraded to provide enhanced navigation and a more user-friendly look and feel. 

The Dashboard is where students can view and accept their financial aid and scholarships and see their specific financial aid information.

All existing financial aid capabilities will still be available.

Reducing Communication Roadblocks

Effectively communicating is a skill all students need to enter the workforce. But it’s not just about talking, it’s about being present, about listening, and about avoiding roadblocks that hinder shared understanding. But how can Golden Flashes go about doing this? â€śDialogue and Difference: A New Understanding” is a new initiative from the Division of People, Culture and Belonging, the School of Peace and Conflict Studies and the Division of Student Life, providing support for each 5XÉçÇř student’s success.Jacquelyn Bleak, associate lecturer in the School of Peace and Conf...
