Mayor Moeller began with a conversation about his dog, Happy Gilmore, named by a little girl. Happy the dog greets and disarms people who go to seek Mayor Moeller as an attorney, with Mayor Moeller noting that people looking for lawyers don\u2019t tend to do so for happy reasons, and often tend to be upset. \u201cPeople don\u2019t get along well in those situations,\u201d he said, \u201cYou put a dog into the mix\u2014they start petting the dog and it brings that stress level down. If you\u2019re ever in the office sometime, bring your dog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayor Moeller then went on to say how proud he is to have a Miami University campus in the city of Hamilton, calling it \u201chuge.\u201d On the topic of Miami\u2019s shift to a polytechnic model, Mayor Moeller called it a pioneer move: \u201cThe idea of having a career school combined with more of your classical education. With those two combined, I think each becomes stronger. That\u2019s incredible stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Mayor Moeller never attended Miami University himself, his uncle Jack Conrad was a contractor who helped to build several of the buildings on the Hamilton campus, including Rentschler Hall where TEE Time takes place. This is a second point of pride for the mayor, who says he\u2019s \u201cdarn proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Mayor Moeller welcomed questions about the data center, water reservoirs, and energy sources. The river was brought up as being an excellent source of both water and power, with the plants at just the right locations so that the water flows consistently and doesn\u2019t become too high or too low. When asked if the city needs the data center, Mayor Moeller said that he\u2019s looking toward the future more than the present. \u201cI\u2019m sure we can live without it, but will it be helpful? Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the conclusion of the talk, the mayor was invited to a Thanksgiving-themed luncheon that was being held in Wilks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked at the end of the event if TEE Time would continue into further semesters and whether she considers it a success, Dr. Hamilton assured those gathered that she sees the events as a massive success and plans to revive the program for next semester. \u201cAs long as we have at least two students in attendance, I consider it a success, and we\u2019ve had an average of about seven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Hamilton would like to extend an offer in the meantime: So long as they fall into one of the established five pillars of discussion (academic, well-being, socio-politics, entrepreneurship, and economics), anyone is welcome to suggest a topic or speaker to her office, which is in the Center for Social and Economic Empowerment in Rentschler Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
