Bittle Residency in Jazz Endowment Fund

The Bittle Residency in Jazz Endowment Fund was established by University of Akron Trustee Edward L. Bittle BA '68 and his wife, Frances Yates Bittle, BS '82, JD '88, to enrich ÐãÉ«¶ÌÊÓƵ Jazz Studies Program. The endowment will provide funding to bring at least one important jazz musician to campus annually to present master classes and a public concert. The gift reflects the Bittles’ longtime interest in jazz and education and will provide opportunities for students to receive mentoring and inspiration from leading jazz musicians.
