When The Miami Student published its first edition as The Literary Focus in 1827, it only included three things: literature, poetry and philosophical thought. Now, 200 years later, The Student has sections covering everything from sports and opinion to culture and environmental news.

From the first print issue of The Miami Student 200 years ago to today’s ever-accelerating technology-driven landscape, the media has consistently demanded our attention. To explain its full evolution would require a substantial encyclopedia — thousands of pages cataloging inventions, platforms and formats now taken for granted.

My four years with The Student were filled with indelible experiences, incredible friends and colleagues, including a young Ohio woman who later became my wife, and the inimitable opportunities to contribute to the quality of and commitment to journalism at Miami. It was inspiring and life-altering.
Many will look at the recent success of the Miami University athletics department and rightfully credit the student-athletes and the coaches. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
There aren’t many college newspapers in the United States with a history of more than 200 years.

Renée Baernstein, dean of the College of Arts and Science, and Interim Provost Chris Makaroff demoted Christopher Howell, program director of the Physician Associate (PA) Studies program at Miami University, from his position on Dec. 12, 2025.
February is Black History Month. It’s always important to highlight movies, music, books and art that celebrate black culture and heritage. With the Academy Awards season also rapidly approaching, there is a standout film that sits at the intersection: Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners.”
