As we approach the end of the semester our students are busy preparing for final exams. In the Heritage class, students are working on conversational scripts in Myaamiaataweenki, ‘the Miami language,’ to present to the class. Two of our students are not only preparing for the final exams of the semester but to receive their degrees and graduate in December.
A number of our students were involved in the planning of Celebrating Miami: Tribe and University Week activities. Students also participated in different activities during the athletic events like delivering the game ball, riding the Zamboni during the hockey games, and lacrosse shoot-out competitions during half-time.
Kayla Becker, Myaamia Heritage sophomore, was awarded third place for her beadwork in the Miami University Art Museum student response exhibit, Interconnected: Land, Identity, Community. Kayla was one of four Myaamia Heritage students who participated in the show.
