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.

Muskingum University’s Quad Center project is one of 24 projects approved for the Ohio Department of Development’s state historic preservation tax credits. It is the only project in southeastern Ohio.

“The state historic tax credits encourage investment into projects renovating historic structures,” said Vice President for Finance and Operations Philip Laube. “Renovating the Quad Center, which provides direct services to our students, will increase the utilization of this facility.”

Muskingum University’s Celebration of Light holiday display continues each evening through January 31, 2022. All are invited to walk or drive through the campus to enjoy the illumination.

“I am very grateful for the privilege of being here at Muskingum,” David McDonald ’23 reflects. “Because of alumni support, I have a second chance at a college education.”

“My path did not lead directly to the University. After graduating from Mount Vernon High School (Ohio), I enrolled part-time at Central Ohio Technical College and worked at several jobs, but I was not finding my passion either in the classroom or in my work experiences.”
