At Miami University, tradition runs deep. From kissing under Upham Arch to rubbing the turtle heads of the Sundial for luck, these moments connect generations of RedHawks. Now, #MoveInMiami is one of those traditions, a fundraising event taking place on the day first-year students move in. But you don’t have to wait until Aug. 21 to make your donations.
