    Here is a bio Megan shared with us:

    My name is Megan Delong and I am a 2018 Sociology Alum from the University of Akron. I am currently working in the non-profit sector at Habitat for Humanity of Summit County as Neighborhood Network Coordinator. Neighborhood Network focuses on the Middlebury and University Park neighborhoods here in Akron – I’m so happy to be a resident of the Middlebury neighborhood! My favorite past times are painting, watching a new movie with homemade popcorn, and taking a walk through the community with my fiancé Sam. I am so grateful for my Sociology experience at the University of Akron and can’t wait to see more Sociology grads come from UA!
