Message From The Director

Throughout my first year as director, I have had the pleasure of meeting many Bliss Institute alumni in Akron and Columbus. I enjoy hearing your stories and celebrating your accomplishments.

I have developed an annual report to let you know of all the activities undertaken in my inaugural year. As this report reveals, I stepped into a directorship of a thriving, active Institute. I could not have undertaken so much, while also making plans to add a new layer of citizenship-focused initiatives to the Bliss Institute's portfolio, without the enthusiastic support of the faculty, staff, and alumni affiliated with the Bliss Institute.

I hope you will take a few minutes to read the report linked below and help us celebrate our accomplishments.

Support Our Students

The generosity of donors allows the Bliss Institute to actively pursue its mission to educate the next generation of leaders by providing student support. Our students graduate with lower debt thanks to the support that YOU support.
