Every three years, Miami celebrates its “birthday” in February 1809 with the Charter Day Ball, a fun and formal affair organized by students and open to the entire Miami community. The invitation from the event chairs is below:

Being a member of the Miami University community entitles you to a special bond. Love and Honor is a phrase that was coined to articulate the feelings that accompany anyone touched by our community. Honor encompasses how proud we all are of our affiliation, and love, the endearment we feel towards this unique hidden oasis nestled between corn fields.

On February 17th, 2018, Miami’s triennial birthday celebration, Charter Day Ball, will occur. The event will run from 8pm to 1am at John D. Millett Hall. This year, the theme is Into the Ivy.

We would like to personally invite you to the 2018 Charter Day Ball. It truly is a night you will not want to miss. A black tie affair, there will be live entertainment, dancing, hors d’oeuvres, and a special feeling of camaraderie and pride within our community.

Tickets [$40 for faculty/staff] are available online and in person through the Miami University Box Office. If you’re looking to purchase your tickets in person, the Box Office is located in the HOME Office, and open Monday – Friday, 8 am and 5 pm. Discount alert, if you purchase your ticket in a group of 8 or more, each ticket will be discounted by 5 dollars!
