Fulfilling a Dream
// MU RETA IL We can all remember the feeling of getting that first piece of spirit wear from our university or putting on our cap and gown for the first time. During this unique time, that experience has changed completely for our students, leaving many of them uncertain about what the future holds. However, thanks to our dedicated staff at the Miami campus stores and others, our students will not miss out on any of these opportunities. Chris Ferchen, Kelly Adelman, Ashley Kammer, Nicole Byrd, along with Joey Yerace, Sally Shephard, Amy Allen, Carey Higgins Matt McRoberts, Anne Liston and Robin Jackson have been working hard over the past week to process more than 600 web orders ranging from graduation gifts, caps and gowns, and general Miami spirit wear. Their dedication to ensuring that everyone – from graduating seniors to incoming first-year students – gets that once in a lifetime experience has not gone unnoticed. Students will now be able to put on their first Miami shirt and proudly show where they chose to continue their education. Others still have the opportunity to wear their well-deserved cap and gown – letting the feeling of accomplishment settle in as they finally become an alumnus of Miami University. To all our dedicated Campus Services staff: thank you for all of the hard work in making these once in a lifetime experiences come true.
