👩‍🎨 Art meets academia

Preble County • March 18, 2025

​

Good morning, Preble County. The walls of Central State University's Dayton campus are alive with powerful feminine energy as the "LivingHERstory" exhibition opened its doors last weekend. Ten talented female artists, including Diana Barr and Marsha Pippenger, are showcasing their work through May 2—a celebration of creativity that arrives just as academic freedom faces potential challenges across Ohio's university landscape.

On a brighter note, Miami University graduates are making their alma mater proud in the business world. The RedHawk50 list features an impressive 11 Cincinnati-based companies among the world's fastest-growing businesses led by Miami alumni. From property software provider Innago (#4) to FC Cincinnati (#13), these success stories span diverse industries and give the Queen City bragging rights with more honorees than Cleveland, Columbus, and Chicago combined. Not a bad showing for our local RedHawks!

📚 Ohio bill threatens academic freedom at Miami University. Senate Bill 1, awaiting House approval, would prohibit DEI programs and restrict discussions of "controversial topics" in classrooms across Ohio universities. The legislation would also require universities to publish all course syllabi publicly and mandate American civics literacy courses for graduation. Faculty members would be banned from striking and face restrictions on collective bargaining rights. Students and professors have expressed concerns about the bill's vague language potentially enabling censorship, while Miami University administration has remained silent on the issue.
