2023-2024 Players to Watch in the OAC:

The following were named to the “Players to Watch” lists by the Ohio Athletic Conference for the 2023-2024 season:

Muskingum University and the Dublin City Schools recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of their partnership program, which provides Dublin’s teaching staff with professional development and graduate credit opportunities.

The partnership includes two annual conferences. Attendees prepare written reflections on what they have learned, which are adjudicated and evaluated for graduate level credit by Muskingum educator preparation faculty.

Muskingum University’s Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity, Delta Lambda Chapter, was honored in July 2023 with three top awards from Phi Kappa Tau’s national organization.

Seventeen members of the extended Montgomery family traveled from across the country to celebrate the life and legacy of Mollie Montgomery ’60 (1937-2023), who grew up on campus.

Mollie was the only child of Ruth Kelley Montgomery and Robert “Doc Bob” Montgomery, who was Muskingum’s longest serving President (1932-1962). She was the granddaughter of J. Knox Montgomery, who established the University’s footprint during his Presidency (1904-1931).

Muskingum University’s Dr. Barbara Hansen, Dave Longaberger Professor of Teaching and Learning and Distinguished Professor of Education, was honored with the 2023 Ohio Council for Professors of Educational Leadership (OCPEA) Engler Award for Exemplary Leadership.

Dr. Hansen has been teaching Muskingum undergraduate and graduate students for the past 15 years. She previously taught English Language Arts to middle school and high school students and served in principal, assistant superintendent, and superintendent positions.
