Greetings Fellow Muskies!

2019-2020 is going to be an exciting year for Muskingum University! To the new incoming Class of 2023 and to the new students joining the classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022, welcome once again to your first days of being Muskies! To all returning students, welcome back home!

Nearly 100 first-year students, student leaders, faculty, and staff volunteered in the community as part of Muskingum University’s Welcome Weekend on Saturday, August 24. Service activities throughout the day included painting, gardening, cleaning, and organizing on campus and in various locations in the New Concord area.

It’s fair to say that we brag a lot about our graduates…after all, there’s a lot to brag about. But we love it even more when employers do some of the bragging for us. 2019 nursing graduate Rachel Kashuba, BSN, RN, recently started her career at the renowned, and globally-recognized, Cleveland Clinic. During Rachel’s first week on the job, she received the following feedback, which we’re happy to share. Below is a portion of an email from Rachel to Michele Miller, associate professor of nursing at Muskingum University:

Muskingum University today welcomed Danyelle Gregory as the Director of Diversity, Access, and Inclusion. Ms. Gregory comes to New Concord with a wealth of experience advocating and providing mentorship for all student populations. In her new role, Ms. Gregory will work closely with student leaders, student affairs educators, faculty members, and other members of the campus community to develop and expand organizations, activities and educational programs that create an environment of affirmation and inclusion.
