A group of Muskingum University alumni returned to campus for an evening of networking and wine-tasting with a capacity crowd of 45 juniors and seniors over the age of 21.

The event was held on March 31 in the Louis O. Palmer Art Gallery, where an exhibit of the University’s permanent artwork collection was on display.

Muskingum alumni served as table hosts, sharing their Muskingum experiences and helping students gain connections, explore career opportunities, and develop skills for interacting in professional social settings.

Students in Muskingum University Professor of English Dr. Jane Varley’s classroom recently had the opportunity to engage with two poet laureates.

“I especially like to teach works by living writers,” Dr. Varley commented. “Having them come to the classroom deepens the reading experience and brings poetry and story-telling alive for our students.”
