Attracting Industry to Ohio

Center for Civics, Culture, and Society

Miami and Ohio

The American promise holds only if the next generation knows and understands it. One of just five state-funded civics centers in Ohio, Miami’s Center for Civics, Culture, and Society advances this mission. The center grounds the Miami community in the history, traditions, ideas, and texts that shaped the American constitutional order. Every Miami undergraduate will engage with coursework in American history or its equivalent, supported and guided by the center. By championing free and rigorous inquiry, civil discourse, intellectual diversity, and respectful exchange of ideas, the center prepares emerging leaders who listen to all voices and strengthen Ohio in government, industry, and civic life.
