Read, Sally D. Student Success Award

The Sally D. Read Student Success Award at The University of Akron was established in 2017 by Roger T. Read '63, '66, as a tribute to Sally Read's life-long kindness in helping people in need. Described as having a servant's heart, Mrs. Read has always found time for others, showing her compassion in selfless ways. The award was revised in November 2021 from The Sally D.
