Shaping Sustainable Communities, a two-year minor that will extend classroom learning about community planning and environmental sustainability into the surrounding region of Butler County, Ohio, has now accepted 20 students for the first round of the program.
Three of the four Miami University students receiving the 2009 Charles J. Ping Award presented by Ohio Campus Compact (OCC) are being recognized for their stellar work in the Acting Locally program.
Former Wilks Director Nicholas V. Longo and Miami University faculty partner Marguerite S. Shaffer in American Studies have authored a chapter in a newly released book, Civic Engagement in Higher Education, edited by Barbara Jacoby (Jossey-Bass, 2009).
Congratulations to Scholar Leader Brett Roeth, who has been elected as the 2009-2010 national vice president for the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS)!
