Muskingum University was awarded over $970,000 for a Workforce Opportunity for a Rural Communities Initiative grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The University was one of 11 Appalachian Regional Commission recipients.

The WORC Initiative funds projects that invest in education, training, and career support services. It provides resources for local and regional workforce development solutions and for community partnerships to promote new, sustainable job opportunities.

Academic Dishonesty, and Plagiarism

Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are serious offenses at Muskingum University, and the instructors have the prerogative of invoking the severest penalty for an initial offense. Each department is responsible for developing its definition of plagiarism, but in general, plagiarism is the verbal, written, graphic, or three-dimensional presentation of borrowed material without citing its source. Students must cite all quotations, paraphrases, borrowed ideas, models, information, or organization of material.

Muskingum University continues to be a top performer among Ohio universities in the U.S. News & World Report 2022 rankings for the Regional Midwest. The University ranked 2^nd among Ohio universities in Best Value Schools and 2^nd among Ohio universities in Top Performers in Social Mobility.

Roberta A. Smith University Library staff and student workers were busy this past summer working on a special archives project made possible with an Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board grant.

The library houses Muskingum University’s official archives, and the grant provided funding to organize, preserve and improve access to the social and historical archives.
