The University of Akron in conjunction with increased security measures has established a clear bag policy for all Founders’ Day meetings and events. Please be aware that when attending events during Founders’ Day, everyone will be required to follow this policy or will not be admitted into the event. 

Approved bags include clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags that do not exceed a size of 12 inches wide by 12 inches high and 6 inches deep. Other approved bags include one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags (Ziploc bag or similar), medical bags and small clutch bags approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap. Prohibited bags include backpacks, binocular cases, camera cases, fanny packs, large-printed bags, mesh bags, purses and tinted plastic bags. Clear bags will be available onsite.

The University of Akron reserves the right to change this policy at any time.
