"During my internships at the National Chemical Laboratory, Pune and 3M India, I met polymer researchers who were either CPSPE alumni or were associated with Akron in some way. All of them told me that if I was planning to pursue a Ph.D. in polymers, it should be from CPSPE. And here I am, four years later, grateful to the people who recommended UA to me."
Akshata Kulkarni, Ph.D. candidate in Polymer Engineering

"I was born and raised in Ohio, but earned my undergraduate degrees in Michigan. Coming back to Ohio for my Ph.D. felt like I was coming home, and I love the Akron area with all of the parks. On the academic side, once I realized how prominent the polymer programs are at UA, I realized that The University of Akron was a great choice for me."
Nate Orndorf, Ph.D. candidate in Polymer Science

"The University of Akron is renowned for its Polymer Program and well-acclaimed research. On reaching out to the then-current students at UA, I realized that the program structure, university environment and the expertise of well-established faculty, would help me in achieving my goal to become a successful Polymer Engineer."
