The University of Toledo and Owens Community College are renewing a partnership that creates a seamless pathway for students to earn a bachelor’s degree from UToledo after starting at Owens.
The admission pathway program, called Rocket Express, was first launched in 2017.
Owens President Dione D. Somerville and UToledo President Gregory Postel will announce the renewed Rocket Express program during a signing ceremony at noon Wednesday, Oct. 19, in the Student Service Center in College Hall at Owens Community College.
As part of the program, students have access to UToledo’s degree audit system to keep track of how their Owens classes will apply to their future UToledo degree program, which is a helpful tool especially if they are considering changing their program of study.
Rocket Express students also do not pay the UToledo application fee when they are ready to transfer.
UToledo and Owens announced the updated Rocket Express admission pathway program during National Student Transfer Week that celebrates transfer students and the professionals who support them.
More information on Rocket Express is available on the Owens website at owens.edu/rocketexpress.

Perrysburg Chorale and Owens Voices of Owens Community College perform Requiem by John Rutter
John Rutter’s most loved choral work was written in memory of his father in 1985. Rutter says this about the work: “For me it stands as a clear sign of humanity’s quest for solace and light amidst the darkness and trouble of our age. Art must bear a message of hope – a message which is embedded in the age-old texts of the Requiem Mass, and also in the Burial Service, some of which I have interpolated into the structure of the work, using the incomparably resonant and glorious version from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.”
Dennis B Blubaugh, Director
Jeff Bunk, Accompanist
Guest Musicians:
Janet Brehm Taylor, Soprano
Nancy Lendrim, Harp
Doug Mead, Oboe
Kelly Hill Kretzer, Flute
