Muskingum University’s Department of Nursing was recently awarded a $199,949 grant from the Ohio Board of Nursing’s Nursing Education Grant Program.

For senior Demeisha Ransom, attending Muskingum has been a life-changing experience.

“When I was a senior in high school in Columbus, Ohio, I was recruited to Muskingum to run cross-country and compete in track and field,” Demeisha recalls. “The best advice I received about choosing a college was to look for a place where people would get to know me and be willing to help me when I needed it. That has absolutely been true of Muskingum!”

Muskingum University Associate Professor of English Dr. Jane Wells is committed to helping students develop their writing skills for success at Muskingum and beyond. “Good writing skills enhance student learning in every major, and they are one of the top skills that employers demand,” Dr. Wells said. “We take writing seriously here at Muskingum and are excited to offer opportunities beyond the classroom to support students in enhancing their writing abilities.”

For animal studies, biology, and psychology major Oliver Rogers ’23, the best part of his Muskingum University education is that “the professors care about both your academic and student life. They look out for you, help you find opportunities, and support you in your academic field, activities, and leadership.”

Muskingum University hosted its 99th Homecoming Oct. 15-17, 2021. On Oct. 16, Caleb McManaway and Sydni Trudo were crowned Homecoming King and Queen.
