John Glenn famously said, “New Concord and Խ University are the center of the universe, because if you get your start here, you can go anywhere.” At Խ we often share Senator Glenn’s thoughts and wax poetic about the impact our community contributes to the world. This isn’t a marketing concept. It’s not empty copy for our website. It’s the true reflection of the education and experience gained by students, and the dedication of our faculty and staff.
Whether it’s a poignant student initiative, an alumni achievement, or faculty milestone, Muskies truly do impact the world. So how have we made a splash recently, you ask?

At Խ, we’re pretty serious about the importance of wearing a mask to protect everyone and to keep us together on campus this semester. Dr. Dinah Meyer, Associate Professor of Psychology, and her colleagues in the Psychology Department had some fun spreading the word by sharing the above photo on social media and with WBNS, channel 10 in Columbus. WBNS ran the photo in the “Show Us Your Mask” segment during the morning news on Aug. 3. Naturally, everyone pictured was wearing a psychology themed mask. Way to help raise awareness!
