Muskingum University kicked off the holiday season with its annual Celebration of Light at the Library fountain. President Hasseler joined a group of students, faculty, and staff for reflections on Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and other holiday traditions.

Following reflections, President Hasseler officially lit the campus lights for the holiday season, and the group of Muskies sang a number of carols and held candles.

If your holiday plans allow this season, we highly recommend a trip through campus to see the lights and celebrate the season!

Last week Muskingum University celebrated International Education Week through numerous events on campus. Led by Dr. Valerie Smith, Director of International Programs, the campus community, 5 percent of which is made up of international students, was welcome to join the following events:

Muskingum University is inviting the community to join in song during its Christmas Festival, a musical worship experience that weaves together choral and instrumental music, poetry, scripture, candlelight, and seasonal carols, at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2019, at Brown Chapel in New Concord.

In the tradition of Muskingum University's Vespers, the Christmas Festival, centered around the theme “From Darkness to Light” will be led by the Muskingum University Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, Christmas Festival Orchestra, and organist Rebecca Abbott.

Muskingum University Assistant Professor of Athletic Training and Director of the Athletic Training program Ken Blood was selected as an All-Ohio School Board Member, receiving the highest honor granted by the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA).
