Students meet for a bible study in Shideler Hall.

Creating community as a minority at Miami

On a quiet campus Tuesday evening, Shideler Hall room 237 is anything but quiet. It’s busy with the bustle of people bouncing from table to table, excitedly catching up with friends. The room smells of cookies and Koolaide while the sound of lively gospel music fills the room.

Alanna and her silver camera

Before coming to Miami University, first-year student Alanna Sweet was gifted a digital camera by her father. Now, she uses it to document her time at college.
