Wrapping Up Their Careers on Campus 
senior class officers

Muskingum University seniors threaded a "long magenta line" of ribbons around campus on April 23 as a visible reminder of the scholarships and financial aid that the university has invested in them since their first year on campus.  Pictured, left to right, are Katie Sidwell, the class treasurer; Katie Simms, the class president; and Tracy Wildermuth, the class vice president.  To raise money for a class gift to the university, the students are selling t-shirts commemorating their graduation.  Proceeds from the sale will go to help future Muskingum students with financial assistance.
