From the President's Desk

Dear Muskingum Alumni and Friends,

One of the true privileges of serving as Muskingum’s president is getting to know Muskies, and May and June provide particularly rich opportunities to do so. Whether I am talking with new students at Muskie Preview, graduating seniors and master’s degree recipients at Commencement, current students doing summer research, or alumni in the region and around the world, they have great stories to tell. It is a constant reminder of the exceptional impact the Muskingum experience has on individuals and on communities.

With that in mind, we decided that it was time to create another space to share those experiences with an even broader audience. You will note that the format has changed in this Update Magazine to include a stronger focus on these incredible stories. As you read this issue, we hope you will be energized by the power of Muskingum’s mission to educate the whole student for the whole world and the ways our students, alumni, faculty, and staff exemplify that mission on the campus and beyond.

We have not forgotten the need to keep our alumni and friends informed about the many good things happening at Muskingum and will continue to do so on our website (muskingum.edu/news), on our social media platforms, and in our bimonthly electronic newsletter, Magenta Lines. If you do not currently receive the newsletter, please email magentalines@muskingum.edu to subscribe. You will not want to miss hearing more about all the dynamic happenings at Muskingum!

I hope you are as inspired by the stories in this issue of Update as I was. This is an incredible community, and I am deeply grateful to be a part of it.

With warm wishes for all the good things that summer brings,
