The school year is quickly winding down (can you believe the students just have two weeks of class left?!), and I can’t help but look back and realize what a good year it’s been for the Miami community.
For example, our hockey team just made it to the NCAA national championship game. Obviously there is a big excitement over hockey at Miami, but to know (and be able to prove!) that we are one of the top two teams in the nation is an amazing feeling.
Our football team welcomed (in December) a new head coach, Michael Haywood. Haywood previously coached at Notre Dame and brings many years of coaching experience to Oxford.
We are celebrating our bicentennial year. Founded in 1809, Miami has 200 years of traditions and proud moments. How often can you say you were at a school when the 200th birthday came along?!
Our Farmer School of business moved up in the rankings---in Business Week’s yearly rankings of public school with business programs, we were named # 6 in the nation!
Our Interior Design program now boasts a # 9 national ranking, according to “America’s Best Architecture and Design Schools”, published by DesignIntelligence magazine.
Several students and faculty have received regional and national awards, showcasing Miami’s commitment to engaged learning.
The Office of Admission received the highest number of applications for first-year students in Miami’s history!
The list certainly doesn’t stop there. The 2008-2009 school year has been a great one. The students will soon be returning home for summer vacation, and they’ll come back recharged and ready for another great year in the fall! For those of you accepted seniors, you can be a part of it all in just a few short months. We hope you confirm your enrollment and become a RedHawk today! :)
