The vision of this campaign
We believe that by strategically investing in four campaign cornerstones—Scholarships, Business and Entrepreneurship, Clinical Health Sciences, and Digital Innovation and Technology—we can address critical global concerns and positively impact the university for decades to come. Our goal of $1 billion is the largest in Miami University’s history, and it reflects the magnitude of our vision.
Miami University is determined not only to be the best in its class across all of its academic divisions but also to bring a greater human dimension to education. Fueled by a passion for our students, we will ensure that every deserving student from any background has access to an excellent Miami education.
Why these cornerstones?
The cornerstones of this campaign are based on expanding or creating programs in emerging and high-demand areas of study, that also address the biggest challenges of our times.
Since the pandemic broke out, the demand for health care professionals has grown, and many hospitals have had staffing crises. We want to expand our healthcare programs to meet that need.
The business world is always in need of forward-thinking entrepreneurs, and Miami has a track record of producing great ones. We want to lean into that with this campaign to help stimulate the economy.
Data and technology are evolving so fast, and we want to stay ahead of the curve by developing new programs, hiring the best faculty, upgrading our tech, and even building a new building on campus.
Underlying all of this is our number-one priority – scholarships. We must ensure that deserving students from all backgrounds have access to a Miami education.
How we came up with the name
For love. For honor. For those who will. builds upon the already well-loved For Love and Honor theme of the previous campaign, creating a through line to the university’s new brand concept, The Power of Will.
The campaign name maintains the ethos of both Love and Honor and The Power of Will to bring the comprehensive campaign to life. We want all Miamians to know that we respect our legacy even while we look to the future.
