What's happenin' around Skangum

 

Welcome back to my blog. If you enjoyed the other posts, please keep tuning in for more updates about Good Ole Skangum, and other helpful things you may want to know.

 

This week in the news we have some rather quite interesting information to be passed on to all of my glorious viewers. We have some info about Anne Steele’s retirement, a wellness fair, fireworks, a boat regatta, and athlete’s learning a valuable lesson.

First is the info about Anne Steele. President Steele was the first female president of Muskingum university, and after seventeen long years, she is finally retiring. And during her time here, she has overseen the construction of six new buildings, as well as the implementation of fifteen new majors for students. Along with her retirement, the rec center on campus was renamed to the Anne Steele Center. She has giving Skangum some pretty great things, and now that she is moving on I hope for the best for her.

Second is the wellness fair that was held on campus. The wellness fair was held to improve student’s health and to familiarize them with the resources around them regarding wellness. The stations at the wellness fair range from counseling to health care systems. Muskingum could not allow every service from the surrounding areas to attend because of the sheer numbers, but a select few chosen services appeared based on relevance to students and their needs.

Now I am going to talk about the stellar light show the other weekend. The Muskingum World vision club and student life paired up to give the students of Muskingum university a truly special treat, fireworks. They even gave out free shirts to the first thirty people to show up and provided snacks to all who watched, that’s something special and rare.

Next thing I am going to talk about is the annual boat regatta race, and not just regular boats, these are cardboard boats made by the students of Muskingum. The students use the boats that they made out of cardboard to race across the lake. Cody Dent and Lexi Ricker won the cardboard boat regatta. Along with winning the race, they also won best boat award too, talk about a unique boat. From past experiences, few boats make it across the lake.

Finally I am going to talk about the guest speaker that athletes had on Monday, April 11. The guest speaker spoke to the athletes about drug and addiction issues. Campbell spoke to the athletes about Tyler’s Light and Tyler’s story about drug and addiction.

Anyway, that is all I have for today Muskies. Remember stay golden at Good Ole Skangum.
