from the dean:
Welcome!
Welcome to the first edition of eNews @MUM. We want to provide information both entertaining and educational in a format that is convenient and cost-effective. Each quarter we will update you with information on what is happening around campus, including news about our students, faculty and staff and other interesting tidbits.
This is an exciting time for Miami University’s Regional Campuses. Lauren Harlow graduated in May as the first student to complete a degree from the new Bachelors of Integrative Studies (BIS) program. Our collaboration with the Greentree Academy is poised to begin providing seamless pathways for those interested in high-demand health care careers.
Miami Middletown also remains committed to the community that has supported our campus since its inception. Miami Middletown Downtown takes MUM to the heart of downtown Middletown to provide entertainment and educational opportunities. Fantastic Free Fridays, the Casper Memorial Lecture Series and our Artist and Lecture Series have allowed us to bring the community to our campus for a variety of cultural and educational events.
I hope you like eNews @ MUM. Thanks for your support of and interest in our campus. Let us know if there is a story you’d like to see us cover. We’re interested in “MUM” students, family connections, faculty past and present, alumni, donors, supporters, athletes, reminiscences – anything and everything that relates to this special place called Miami University Middletown.

Gary Hirshberg’s message of achieving success in business while remaining true to his environmentally friendly worldview drew a large crowd to campus for the 2009 Casper Lecture.
Miami alumnus Rick Urschel has held top corporate jobs in the U.S. and internationally during his impressive career. He gives credit for a solid start to the education he began at Miami Middletown.
Student scholarship recipients get a chance to say thank you, while donors connect faces to the lives they have touched during the unique yearly Scholars and Donors Dinner.
Oxford is taken over by thousands of alumni. The Regional Campuses joined in the celebration in a unique way.
