On Wednesday, June 7, at 4:30 p.m., Miami Regionals will host the grand re-opening of hiking trails on the Middletown campus. Both the Tuesday and Wednesday event are complimentary, but registration is requested.
The weekend kicks off at 1:30 p.m. Friday, June 9, in the Armstrong Student Center’s Wilks Theater when Robert Keller ’73, retired Miami architect and university planner, traces the evolution of the Oxford campus and also offers a sneak peek of what’s being planned for the next 20 years. This session includes the 50-year class induction into the Hughes Society.
