Working in close collaboration with faculty, staff, and student partners, the Office of Transformational and Inclusive Excellence (TIE) provides opportunities for the Miami community to continue our learning and engage in meaningful programming that recognizes, examines, and values historical legacies of a diverse array of identities. Heritage Month programming supports Miami’s inclusive excellence and mission, which encourages the Miami University community to enhance our awareness, knowledge, and skills to enrich and renew our intercultural competence.
TIE will organize campus-wide programming, and collaborate, coordinate, and support events across campus through a coordinated calendar for each month; promotion of events; and, when available, limited funding support for proposed events with campus-wide appeal.
MU Libraries is partnering with TIE to feature online resources, including films, books and articles, and class offerings, during each Heritage Month. We invite you to explore these and other educational resources and links on each webpage.
To discuss the possibility of limited funding support for an event with campus-wide appeal, please contactOTIE@MiamiOH.eduwith details. Please note that there is limited funding available and that only programming with appeal across units can be considered. Collaboration among units is strongly encouraged.

The Cultural Celebration Series is an event series designed to celebrate cultural heritage months with the Miami community. At the beginning of each semester, a social will take place to kick off the semester's celebrations. Additionally, each heritage month will have specific and intentional programming throughout the month to provide educational and engagement opportunities.
