Even though our incoming class members are unable to visit campus in person this spring, our Admission Office is keeping in close touch.

Each student who was registered to attend our "Get Hooked on Muskingum Accepted Student Day" in March is receiving a box of Muskingum goodies with personalized notes.

Admission representatives and coaches remain in close touch with all of their prospective students through email, texting, and social media platforms. 

A small group of students who are unable to return to their primary residences remain safely housed on campus, joining their off-campus classmates and faculty in remote learning.

For a few students who are unable to come to the dining hall, Aramark delivers prepared meals along with some basic grocery items.

The Senate is developing and will soon be launching multiple student engagement events on social media.

From online chapel services to stress management tips and mental health check-ins, multiple outreach efforts are helping Muskingum University students stay engaged virtually with counselors, mentors, and each other.
