Muskingum University Chair and Professor of Psychology Dr. Dinah Meyer was interviewed on February 22, 2021 by WBNS 10TV in Columbus and by WOSU Radio/NPR on February 23, 2021 about Pandemic Psychology and some reasons why people are reluctant to have the COVID vaccine once it becomes available to them. 

Dr. Meyer is currently teaching a course on the “Psychology of Pandemics.”

"The core of it really is that a lot of people just don't trust science because they don't understand it," she said.

Muskingum University alumni couples gathered virtually to enjoy a night of wine, catching up with friends, and celebrating Valentine’s Day with a virtual wine tasting “Mingling with Muskies” on Friday, February 12, 2021.
