Let’s get real for a second: business school puts an emphasis on numbers. As a marketing major, I am bored to death in classes that have numbers in them. I am NOT a numbers person. I am that student that endlessly checks my debits and credits and still can’t get a proper balance. I spend hours trying to figure out statistics to calculate p-values. When, you put me in a marketing class; I flourish. I take the lead on collaborative projects and diverge and converge like nobody’

Especially in the Arts! Yes! Lawyers are integral to the success of all organizations, corporations, and businesses, and arts organizations (even non-profit arts organizations) are no exception. When we think of arts organizations, even those of us keenly aware of all of the behind the scenes characters that keep the machine running, we often fall into the trap of forgetting crucial components. Think of one of your local theatre organizations. It doesn’t have to be the bigges

When musicians think about the orchestra, they typically think that orchestras are dying because of the lack of interest from younger generations. This is a major crisis for the future of classical music. I would like to propose a different angle to look at this issue. If the organization blames the problem on their consumers, then they have an impossible problem to solve. I believe that they should focus on the issue at a different angle in order to have a problem that prese

The art of letterpress has left a big impression – literally – on the history of both printing and design. Though many might believe that letterpress is antique and old-fashioned, I am here today to tell you that this centuries-old art form is still very relevant to the modern day. I mean sure, it was used to print a multitude of historic pieces, including the Declaration of Independence and different versions of the Bible. However, I feel that in many more modern-day cases,

Winner of 12 Tony Awards, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s critically acclaimed musical, Hamilton: An American Musical, has been taking Broadway, and the world by storm. Since the show’s Broadway debut in 2015, the show has opened in Chicago, the West End in London, and is starting its first tour across the United States. Tickets for the show are sold at an astronomically high price and are in incredibly high demand, no matter which city or production you’re looking to go see. Upper balc

I woke up Sunday morning feeling like I needed to go somewhere, to do something new. And because I am a nerd, I decided that that something new was going to be to check out the Cincinnati Art Museum. I have lived in Oxford for three years and never made it down there, mostly because I didn’t have a car and wasn’t about to drop a hundred dollars on an Uber, so I decided that that would be the day. I will admit, I got lost in Eden Park on my way there… and again when I left.

Whether you’re a solo artist or in a band, all musicians experience an initial struggle upon bouncing onto their respective local music scenes. Some venues won’t book you because you have no music out, while others might be fine with you playing cover songs for hours. If you have no music out, how do you get good music out? How do you know if your music is good enough for a venue to accept it and book you? There are lots of little details that musicians must deal with, many w

“Passion is caring deeply about something. Purpose is doing something about what you deeply care about” - Edgar Papke Passion has many definitions and meaning when searching for a definition it comes up with strong and barely controllable emotion, a state or outburst of strong emotion, intense sexual love. All these things describe passion and we have all felt this emotion as some point in our lives and will become very familiar with this emotion over our life span. There are

Last year, Miami University made many noticeable changes to its dining halls and meal plan. Amidst larger cutbacks, like making pre-mixed stir fry options and completely dismantling everything besides the buffet on Maple Avenue, there were also many smaller changes that seemed to go unnoticed. Various foods were removed, the menu rotation was changed, etc. Among these smaller changes was the silent removal of croutons from every dining hall on campus. Croutons that I ate cons

Miami University in Oxford, OH: Home to a great hockey team, a beautiful campus, and a renowned business school. When most people think of Miami, many think of a preppy, well-dressed student in the Farmer School of Business. However, Miami is more than just that. College is the place where you find yourself. You finally get to be who YOU want to be and do what YOU want to do. It’s a formative time in one’s life that should be used to the fullest, but, I often get the sense th
