Serving Ohio. From Oxford to Columbus. From Ohio to Washington, D.C.
Government Relations Network
Good government depends on leaders who are educated, trained, and compassionate. Democracy, itself, rests on preparing a rising generation with civic understanding, practical experience, and a commitment to service. Miami University’s Government Relations Network (GRN) cultivates future public servants by providing direct, unfettered access to local, state, and federal decision-makers across all branches of government. Since 2004, more than 1,600 GRN members have engaged with elected officials, staff, and civic leaders sharing their Miami experience. GRN members participate in the university’s economic and workforce initiatives; coordinate conferences; and build advocacy, communication, and civil discourse skills. The result is a pipeline of informed leaders prepared to advance and elevate Ohio communities by adding value on day one of employment.
