Charlotte Colley ’04 earned her Muskingum bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Conservation Science.  “My classes and hands-on work in these disciplines gave me broad-based experience in both worlds, which I draw on daily. I had great learning opportunities with internships and faculty-student research projects in both areas.”

Members of the campus community and the surrounding area joined together on Muskingum’s quad to celebrate Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.  Led by Danyelle Gregory, the University’s Director of Diversity, Access, and Inclusion, the gathering featured remarks from:

Dear Members of the Muskingum University Community:
 
We at Muskingum University are deeply saddened and disturbed by the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. This, and other recent incidents in which the lives of black Americans have been needlessly taken, highlights the fact that systemic discrimination is still very much a part of our everyday lives in the United States. Like so many others, we are grappling with how to respond to these events in a way that brings about healing and change.
 

With great appreciation, Muskingum congratulates 5 members of our learning community who retired at the close of this academic year. Each of them has had a tremendous impact on our University. We wish them all the best in their retirement!
 
Joy Cowdery, the Janet Brown Rothwell Distinguished Professor of Education, joined the University in 2002 and served Muskingum for 18 years.

Greetings!

In mid-March I wrote to you about the University’s proactive response to the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak. Now, I want to tell you how the Muskingum community has progressed since then, and how we are planning for the future.
