From the President’s Desk

Dear Muskingum Alumni and Friends,

Muskingum on the Move describes the momentum and energy of this semester on our campus. That energy began in August as we welcomed the Class of 2025, our largest in a decade, along with a new group of faculty and staff. It is a privilege to watch their excitement about living and learning on our campus.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are serving our undergraduate students with wonderful on-campus learning opportunities. The campus community continues to show amazing creativity and resilience as we all are learning new ways to connect and learn with and from one another.

Momentum continues throughout the semester as improvements are made to our educational facilities. We are fortunate to have the engagement of faculty, staff, and students in these projects as we incorporate their vision for the future of this campus.

An example of this vision came from our Senior Director of Facilities and Physical Plant Kevin Wagner, who outlined a plan for how the Agnes Moorehead farm could support our athletic programs. Many thanks to Kevin and the physical plant and athletics staff members who brought these new venues to life.

It was a great joy to welcome our returning alumni for Magenta Homecoming 2021, in a mix of in-person and virtual events. Celebrating the 50-year reunions of our Classes of 1970 and 1971 and hosting a graduation celebration for the Class of 2020 provided a poignant reminder of the power of community in the face of the very unusual challenges of the past 18 months.

The commitment of our alumni, friends, faculty, and staff makes it possible for us to extend the impact of the Long Magenta Line every day on campus, in our communities, and in the world around us. As always, thank you for your encouragement and support.
