Muskingum University recently welcomed more than 150 regional high school musicians to campus for two YouthFest musical events, continuing a more than 30-year tradition of providing talented students with an opportunity to further develop their musical skills.

YouthFest participants are nominated by their high school music directors. While on campus, they experience rehearsals, master classes, and workshops with Muskingum music faculty and students. The experience concludes with a performance by the YouthFest musicians.

Four Muskingum University students participated in an International Online Conference for Young Scientists and Scholars.

Entitled “The North Atlantic Alliance Faces New Challenges,” the Dec. 2, 2023, conference was held entirely online.

It was sponsored by Fulbright Ukraine, Vasyl Stefanik Precarpathian State University, the US Institute for International Education, the University of Warsaw, and the University of Wroclaw.

The Leaders of the Line is the latest group of Muskingum University students to participate in the longstanding tradition of a Professional Skills Development dinner.

A partnership of the Impact Center and the Alumni Office, these dinners help guide students as they prepare to interview and have professional meetings over meals, provide opportunities to network with alumni, and help build professional skills for social settings.

Muskingum University faculty have the unique opportunity to share their work in their professional fields with each other through a Brown Bag series each semester.

Muskingum University’s Spring 2024 semester will feature a wide variety of vibrant arts events.

As of Jan. 1, 2024, Muskingum University added Martin Luther King Jr. Day as an observed University holiday. Classes are not scheduled and offices are closed.

While traditionally classes were not held on this holiday to allow students to participate in service-learning projects organized by the University, the designation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as an observed University holiday expands these opportunities to employees.

Laudations is an online collection spotlighting the professional contributions Muskingum University faculty and staff make to their respective disciplines.
