Graduating Class Composite Photo Opportunity – April 6th

ATTN: December Graduates and May Graduation Candidates

With changes here at the law school, we have had difficulty with scheduling the class composite photo sittings for graduating students. Please SAVE THE DATE for April 6th, from 2pm to 6pm for the last-chance photo sittings. Just stop by – no appointments necessary. It takes approximately 5 minutes per student. Location: Law Library 3rd floor near the office of Student Services.

There is no cost for participating in this class composite and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. You will be required to choose one proof for the Class Composite. I will provide you with a digital copy of all the proofs and instructions will be given to notify me of your chosen proof number for the composite photo. A full-size digital file of the proof you choose will be yours to keep. If you wish to order a copy of the Class Composite, you may bring a check made payable to The University of Akron in the amount of $30 at the time of your sitting, or you may order a copy of the Class Composite at a later date through the Student Services Office.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • It is required that you wear a dark (Navy, Black, Dark Grey, Dark Brown) suit for a professional appearance and a coordinated look for your Class Composite Photo.
