Muskingum has so many great programs.

Our Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program is looking for kids ages 1–12 to join MOT students and faculty for a pediatric lab on Saturday, July 18, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Roberta A. Smith Library. Kids will take part in play-based pediatric assessments, helping our students gain valuable hands-on experience, and each child will receive a free ice cream cone from Dairy Duchess after the lab.

To sign up or learn more, email Rachel Milliner at [email protected] or call/text Kim Lawler at (740) 260-6043 by Friday, July 10.

Can’t wait!

🇺🇸 🎇 WE’VE DONE IT!! 🙌🏻 🧨

We have reached our goal and have received our matching donation of $5,000! In fact, we’ve received so much support from an extraordinary number of individual and business donations that we are able to increase our budget to provide an even more spectacular fireworks display July 11! 🎉 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We are thrilled to partner with Zach Rudy of PyRoo Pyrotechnics who promises to bring us an amazing fireworks show as we celebrate our America 250 July 11! 🇺🇸

Zach is our perfect partner as he has close ties to New Concord! He is a Muskingum University alumnus (class of ‘08) who also spent 4 years serving as an EMT and Firefighter in our New Concord Fire Department! We are so excited to work with him!

❤️🤍💙 Special thank you to our Patriotic Partners - individuals and businesses who contributed $250 or more!
