It really does take a village. 🦘 Jacob is just one credit away from graduating, and thanks to the guidance of Dr. Vanja Djuric-Zoric, he’s wrapping it up with a podcast project featuring inspiring business leaders.

Huge thanks to Dan McCoy, an accomplished business sales professional and a proud University of Akron alum—for giving his time to support our students and help Jacob cross the finish line. As a student-athlete, creating a flexible, meaningful experience made all the difference.

Clips coming soon! 🎙️
Go Zips! 💙💛

From storytelling and design to scaling businesses and creating customer experiences, this was a conversation packed with value — and even better, real-world perspective.

Big thank you to our speakers for taking the time to give back and invest in our students.
