As the semester is quickly coming to an end, we were especially excited to host senior night with the ten members of our student community who will soon be graduating.
As a part of the Myaamia Heritage Program, seniors participate in a year-long independent study project that will allow them to reflect on what they have learned through the Myaamia Heritage Program and their time at Miami University to create a deliverable that will give back to the Myaamia community.
Over the course of the year, seniors research their chosen topic and meet with an advisor to build out a plan for creating their deliverable. A few of the topics this year were: creating a warm-up and stretching routine for stomp dance shakers; making a language video teaching how to cook boiled bread; constructing a set of stomp dance shaker cans and an instruction guide; and creating an instruction guide for making beaded earrings. Mihši neewe to our seniors for their hard work this semester, and congratulations on your upcoming graduations!
