Muskingum University received a $100,000 grant from the Austin E. Knowlton Foundation to establish the Austin E. Knowlton Endowed Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is designed to aid students majoring in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) discipline or related field.

The scholarship will be awarded annually and is renewable for four years. Preference is given to full-time, first-year students from Ohio. Candidates meeting the criteria are automatically considered upon admission to the University.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Professor Gary Golden after a brief illness.  He was an integral part of our campus community since 1999, as a colleague, beloved professor, and friend to so many. 

Calling hours will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Monday, January 10 at Farus Funeral Home in New Concord. A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, January 11 at 3:30 p.m. in Brown Chapel. Orbit Media's Vimeo channel will host a livestream of the service.
