From the President’s Desk
Dear Muskingum Alumni and Friends,
The Spring 2022 semester provided many opportunities for Muskingum to celebrate and strengthen community. Students were once again able to gather freely on the Quad and across the campus for Muskingum spring traditions such as our Celebration of Excellence, Greek Week, and the Cardboard Boat Regatta.
On May 5 and 7, we held commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2022. We granted our first Master of Business Information Systems (MBIS) degree, the evolution of our MISST degree. Graduate Commencement speaker Edmund J. “Ed” Romito III ’11G shared how our innovative program led to success in his own career and for his national award-winning information technology team – many of whom are Muskies – at the Genesis HealthCare System, a significant employer in our region. Our undergraduate students heard an inspiring message from Dr. Kim Gage Rothermel, ’71, our retiring board chair, who also led an impactful career in healthcare.
This fall, Muskingum students will benefit from two new high impact learning opportunities: the International Fellows and the Walter Humanitarian Fellows programs. The new Fellows will join the Kratoville Innovation Fellows and the John and Annie Glenn Public Service Fellows in making their marks on the campus, the community, and the world.
The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Impact Center provide new opportunities to invest in student success, supporting our faculty in developing effective teaching practices and broadening the career services and employer partnerships that help prepare our students for the workforce, graduate study, and service.
Our campus community is eagerly awaiting the completion of the exceptional new Henry D. Bullock Health and Wellness Complex, with our Grand Opening planned for September 17.
I hope you enjoy learning more about community at Muskingum in these pages. I look forward to welcoming many of you back to campus for Magenta Homecoming on September 16-18, 2022.
With warm regards, President Susan S. Hasseler Keep up with President Hasseler through her email newsletter Magenta Lines. Email magentalines@muskingum.edu to subscribe.
