University of Akron extends paramedic education to Wayne College
ORRVILLE Area first responders can pursue their paramedic certification a little closer to home starting next year thanks to a partnership between Cleveland Clinic Akron General and the University of Akron Wayne College.
The clinic will extend its paramedic education program to the University of Akron’s Orrville campus in January. The 10-month training program produces the highest level of emergency medical service. Prospective students must have their certification as an emergency medical technician (EMT) to apply.
The paramedic education program identified Wayne County and surrounding counties south and west of the area as lacking EMS education at the paramedic level. The extension to Wayne College will cut travel time for EMTs seeking that higher level of training closer to home, especially EMTs in the more rural communities.

In just his second year playing NAIA basketball for Lourdes University, 6-foot-3, 185 pound sophomore Little Anderson (Cardinal Stritch) is already making an impact. Coach Dennis Hopson returned 15 players from last year’s roster that finished the year 20-11 overall and 13-7 in the WHAC. Hopson has also brought in a pair of talented freshmen along with two transfers for the upcoming season. With all the talent on this year’s roster, Lourdes has significant depth at all five positions on the court, giving Hopson the ability to play multiple lineups throughout the game. He has moved some positions around to optimize players potential. The Gray Wolves return three individuals that have earned All-WHAC accolades at some point in their career.
