It’s no secret that Miami University’s basketball teams had unprecedented success this season. The men’s team were the eighth team in all of college basketball since 1976 to be undefeated in the regular season, made March Madness for the first time since 2007 and won a game in the tournament for the first time since 1999. The women’s team won the Mid-American Conference championship for the first time since 2008, making an appearance in March Madness as a 13-seed.
Dan Darkow, 32, the director of the Miller Center for Student Disability Services (SDS), died February 11, according to a statement from Miami University.
Miami University is a big school. With more than 22,000 students inhabiting a 600-acre campus, it’s easy to imagine the breadth of services required to keep the campus running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Most able-bodied people focus on the visible aspects in academic buildings; accommodations like ramps, elevators and braille signs. But there’s one question very few people tend to ask: Where do they live in Oxford?
The Kappa Alpha Fraternity House has a ramp for accessibility.
Miami University spends $2 billion dollars every year. This is enough money to write every single one of Miami’s undergraduate students a $120,000 check, or relocate and rebuild Millett Hall 10 times.
Oxtoberfest took place on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but looking around, a passerby wouldn’t be able to tell. Turnout remained high at Oxford’s annual festival, where a crowd of hundreds of college students, Oxford residents and their children gathered Uptown to celebrate German heritage.
