Don Mason ’79 was elected Mayor of the City of Zanesville, Ohio in November 2019, garnering more than 65% of the vote and winning every precinct.
“My career in public service has truly come full circle. Just after I graduated from Muskingum in 1979, I was elected as a write-in candidate for Zanesville City Council. I was elected Mayor at the age of 26 and served two terms [1983-1991], before I entered the field of energy regulation.”
As the Executive Director of the Zanesville-Muskingum County Port Authority, Matt Abbott ’05 helps lead the region’s efforts in community and economic development, partnering with city and county authorities, state government, and multiple public-private growth organizations.
Charlotte Colley ’04 earned her Muskingum bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Conservation Science. “My classes and hands-on work in these disciplines gave me broad-based experience in both worlds, which I draw on daily. I had great learning opportunities with internships and faculty-student research projects in both areas.”

Dear Members of the Muskingum University Community:
We at Muskingum University are deeply saddened and disturbed by the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. This, and other recent incidents in which the lives of black Americans have been needlessly taken, highlights the fact that systemic discrimination is still very much a part of our everyday lives in the United States. Like so many others, we are grappling with how to respond to these events in a way that brings about healing and change.
