For those who have been living off the grid for the past year, the #MeToo Movement is a viral campaign to address sexual harassment and assault. The campaign encourages and supports survivors of sexual assault and interpersonal violence who come forward with their stories, and has exposed the long unspoken reality that sexual abuse is rampant in our society. The epidemic of assault has affected the personal and professional lives of an unspeakable number of people. The #MeToo

ESP 103 plays an important role for FSB students. It makes design thinking, innovation and creativity come into the business setting and tells people with any background the importance of utilizing them in their work. Our goal in Arts management is to effectively communicate that anyone at any age or any background can be creative. So when I was assigned to discover the creativity, innovation and design thinking, ESP 103 comes to my mind first. My major is ISA at Farmer Schoo

It’s October and we are finally getting some much needed fall weather! It’s the perfect time for s'mores, hot apple cider and ghost stories. It is also National Arts and Humanities Month! This week I had the opportunity to talk to Tanner McCormick, one of the student writers and directors of Miami University Theatre Department’s Echoes of Miami, and got to learn what it’s been like to be involved with such a daunting project. Kaitlin: What is Echoes of Miami? Tanner: Echoes i

In the Arts Management program the experience of the arts is of the utmost importance and sometime you need to do just that, experience it. I haven’t been doing ceramics for very long. In total I’ve been handling clay for less than 6 months. I have had a fascination with the subject for as long as I can remember; one Christmas over a decade ago now, I received this toy potters wheel. It didn’t work well, and I never really figured out how to make anything and it sadly went to

After attending my first music festival, I truly could not get enough. The long lines to get through the front gates. The various stages my friends and I are constantly running back and forth from. The colorful and elaborate outfits festival-goers wear. The abundance of food stands ranging from fresh fruit smoothies to delicious island noodles. The booths selling beautiful jewels and unique artwork. And, most importantly, the phenomenal community of people that attend music f

When I began attending Miami University, I was incredibly nervous. As a nontraditional student who had attempted college twice before, I wondered whether or not the third time would be the charm. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. While I had an interest in the arts and was looking at working for non-profit organizations, it never occurred to me that someone could pursue a career in the arts without being a performer or artist. Luckily for me, the regional campus

I’m the youngest person in my very large family, always surrounded by successful and amazing and beautiful people who are constantly achieving things I could never imagine doing myself. As the youngest, it has been difficult to project my voice in the crowd. I know I’m loved, but that doesn’t guarantee anything. The only way I could find my voice was through the arts, and arts management has helped me so much. And even though I’m in the computer science and engineering school

Being a naïve senior in high school, I remember trying out for the Miami University Dance Team. I remember knowing that they did styles I had never tried before but assumed I would be able to catch on fast; After all, one of my strengths had always been being able to pick up choreography. It didn’t end up being that easy. As a freshman at Miami University, I struggled with making the transitions to sharp, hitting movements and forcing myself to match the people next to me. It

The fashion industry has a wide variety of careers, many of which people do not even recognize. As a co-major in fashion entrepreneurship, I do not know how to sew, nor do I look anything like Gigi Hadid or Tyra Banks. The fashion co-major offers three different tracks, including design, corporate business, and entrepreneurship. I chose to follow the latter. Fashion entrepreneurship has allowed me utilize both sides of the brain, the creative and the analytical. My goal is to

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” the prompt on the whiteboard reads. “Why? What do you like about that job? Why do you think you’d be good at it?” Third-grade Caroline doesn’t hesitate. She whips out her Dixon Ticonderoga— they have the best erasers—and begins to write. “When I grow up,” she begins, whispering to herself as she writes. “I want to be an actress. But not a movie actress—an actress on Broadway. I love everything about this job: the singing, the dancing
