As the summer begins to draw to a close and students return for the start of another semester on our beautiful campus hills, Muskingum University eagerly anticipates the return of generations of alumni, families, and friends for Magenta Homecoming 2025. This year’s celebration promises a vibrant mix of nostalgia, tradition, and new experiences that capture the heart of what it means to be a Muskie family.

Muskingum University’s biology program is getting a tech upgrade. New DNA sequencing equipment is being installed into the labs in early September in time for classes like Molecular Biology (BIO-375) and research-based courses (BIO-421/422) to dive into exciting new ways of collecting data. Professor of Biology Dr. Amy Santas broke down what this means for the department.

Thirteen students from various majors had the exciting opportunity to travel and explore different areas of London and Paris in May. The week-long trip included several events and activities that allowed students to learn, discover, and appreciate the cultures of these European cities. Associate Professor of English Dr. Kekoa Kaluhiokalani was one of the advising faculty members on the trip leading the group through these passages.

At Muskingum, education doesn’t just serve a moment, it supports a lifetime of growth. Whether finishing a degree, advancing a career, or gaining new credentials, Muskingum meets adult learners where they are and helps them get where they want to go.

Muskingum offers a wide range of learning opportunities, and summer is a strategic time to make progress. With flexible, online, and accelerated programs, adult students can move forward without pressing pause on their lives.

Laudations is an online collection spotlighting the professional contributions Muskingum University faculty and staff make to their respective disciplines.

This summer, Muskingum’s Impact Center continued its mission to connect students with high-impact experiences that extend learning beyond the classroom. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, the Impact Center proudly offers the High-Impact Experience Grant.

The grant supports students in pursuing applied learning opportunities beyond the classroom, aiming to reduce financial barriers that might prevent them from participating in transformative experiences.
