From the President’s Desk

Dear Muskingum Alumni and Friends,

As I stood on the field on September 17, looking at a stadium filled with alumni, students, faculty, staff, and community members, I was overwhelmed by the amazing energy and spirit of the Muskingum community.

The Henry D. Bullock Health and Wellness Complex directly resulted from that innovative and courageous spirit, evident throughout our history and especially during the pandemic. Despite that disruption and uncertainty, our Trustees voted to move this transformational project forward, and our faculty, staff, and students continued to creatively and safely engage in the meaningful educational experiences that define Muskingum.

Walking through the BHWC that day, I heard the word “wow” over and over again, as people entered and toured the building. It is an exceptionally beautiful facility and so very multifunctional at the same time. The talents of our students and our educators are showcased in its Signature and History walls, and in the design and use of its educational, athletic, and recreational spaces.

Coupled with our 100th Homecoming, the Grand Opening brought alumni back to campus who have not been here in years, along with those who return often. The interaction among the alums of all generations was truly electric!

I was thrilled to host the many state and regional leaders and community members who came to celebrate the Grand Opening with us as well. The BHWC has drawn visitors throughout the fall and will continue to do so long into the future.

We are grateful to all who supported the construction of the BHWC – it would not have become a reality without everyone’s contributions. Thank you for the many ways in which you are helping build “A Muskingum Like Always and A Muskingum Like Never Before.”

I wish you peace, joy, and well-being throughout the coming holiday season and always.

With gratitude, President Susan S. Hasseler
