This October, Global Ties Akron took an international partnership to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, reconnected with an IVLP alumnus in Casablanca, and welcomed 75 Akron Public Schools middle schoolers to meet visiting international speakers. Ten media leaders from Yemen joined us online to study the First Amendment with Kent State faculty. And your gifts to 50 for 50 helped bring it all home to Akron classrooms.
