During the Conference, students will meet with members of the Ohio Congressional Delegation and members of the Ohio General Assembly. In these meetings, students will advocate for higher education and Miami University by sharing their own Miami experiences with members and staff. Students will present to members and staff undergraduate research and experiential learning opportunities that they have engaged in at two poster sessions, one on Capitol Hill and the other at the Ohio Statehouse.

I was offered numerous academic scholarships from Miami that no other university I applied came close to comparing. I started my first year of Miami University with 43 college credits courtesy of College Credit Plus program. This will enable me to graduate with a double major and one minor in 4 years. The faculty members of Miami\u2019s history\u00a0department are ultimately what finalized the decision for me. The interactions and conversations I had with them told me they were serious and passionate about teaching the undergraduate population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U.S. Congressional Member<\/strong>: Marcy Kaptur<br \/>\n<strong>Ohio Senator<\/strong>: Nathan Manning<br \/>\n<strong>Ohio House Member<\/strong>: Joe Miller<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyre Israel<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst-year,\u00a0israeltm@miamioh.edu<br \/>\n<strong>Major<\/strong>: Strategic Communication<br \/>\n<strong>Hometown<\/strong>: Cincinnati, Ohio 45224<br \/>\n<strong>Campus Involvement<\/strong>:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-268 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/grn\/files\/2019\/03\/Screen-Shot-2019-03-17-at-2.39.31-PM-e1552848852312.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"136\" height=\"185\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Member of Government Relations Network<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why Miami<\/strong>: When looking into schools, being able to afford college was important to me and my family.
