Former Muskingum University men's basketball standout Joshua Keyes ('17) has signed a two-year professional contract to play basketball for CS Cruza Sport Braila in Braila, Romania.

Keyes, a Second Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference honoree and All-OAC Tournament selection, ended his Muskie tenure as the school record holder in career blocks (143), single-season blocks (61), single-game blocks (6) and career rebounds (725). He also scored 863 points during his four-year career.

Beginning in the fall of 2018, dining at Muskingum University will look and feel much different. The University recently unveiled plans to completely overhaul Patton Dining Hall, currently the largest dining space on campus.

Inspired by student feedback, the plans include a top-to-bottom redesign that will offer several new dynamic food stations and result in additional meal options. A wood-fired pizza oven, mobile phone charging tables and a variety of high top and traditional seating options are included in the plans.

In effort to make a positive impact on their community, a pair of undergraduate engineering students at Muskingum University partnered with a faculty member over the summer on a project to adapt interactive children’s toys for children with disabilities.
