Dear Friends,
January is a time of new beginnings as we start another semester and welcome in the new year. Our students returned full of energy and eager to continue learning and living together. Our faculty and staff started new classes and resumed athletics, the arts, and leadership activities after a much-needed winter break. And this week we experienced a snowstorm that enveloped the campus in pristine beauty. So many reminders of renewal and resilience. We have much to be grateful for at Muskingum.
Virtual technology allowed us to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. amid the snowstorm with a challenge to stand up, speak up, and be the catalyst for change as we embody our commitment to inclusivity and equity. It was a powerful reminder that in the midst of beauty there is still much that needs to be transformed on our campus and in our world.
T.S. Eliot captured this calling so poignantly when he said, "To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life." Purpose, courage, and beauty will shape another semester at Muskingum as we continue to educate the whole student for the whole world.
With warm wishes for health and safety for all,
President Sue Hasseler
