Several Muskingum University students teamed up with faculty members over the summer and fall to follow the progression of grassland habitats for various bird species at The Wilds. The data collected is part of an ongoing research project tracking the changes in bird ecology and habitat use over time.
Following a nationwide search, experienced academic leader Dr. Nancy J. Evangelista has been selected as Muskingum University’s Provost, the University announced today. In the role of Provost, Dr. Evangelista will serve as chief academic and student affairs officer, responsible for all traditional undergraduate academic programs, student affairs and related initiatives. Dr. Evangelista will take office in January 2018.
Students from Muskingum University’s Science Division and other academic disciplines presented their research and internship findings at the university’s annual Fall Research and Internship Forum, held October 26 on campus. Students presented their findings in a poster format that is typically associated with professional presentations in the sciences.
The following students made presentations:
Brandon Bush of Zanesville, OH presented The Waste Water Treatment Plant.
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.
