What is it about Miami students that creates life-long relationships? More than 14% of Miami alumni have married another graduate of Miami. Dubbed “Miami Mergers,” these love birds tally up to a grand total of 26,472 scattered across the globe. This number is believed to be one of the largest of its kind in the country. Valentine’s Day is approaching, and Miami is preparing to send out Happy Valentine’s Day cards to all Mergers, a tradition that began in 1973.On February 2, Miami was pleased to receive word from Guinness World Records that we officially broke the world record for the most couples renewing their wedding vows at once. Last June, 1,087 couples returned to Miami last summer for alumni weekend to renew their vows. Robert Frame (1938 graduate) and June Frame (1939 graduate) were there and were recognized as the oldest known Miami Merger. Special thanks to the Miami University Alumni Association for organizing such a successful event. We even have three Mergers working here in the Office of Admission. Shout out to Carol Richmond, Ann Larson, & Ann Bader! Traditions live long at Miami!
