With the new year starting, Miami Activities and Programming (MAP) has been hard at work planning a full calendar of events so you can spend your weekends watching the newest movies, traveling to Cincinnati for Kings Island, and heading to Millett for a comedy show!
We are bringing back some of our signature events and partnerships this fall, so mark your calendars because you won’t want to miss out on some of the biggest events of the semester…
Welcome Home with MAP
This Welcome Weekend, join MAP for one of their biggest events of the year on Friday night, Welcome Home! This event kicks off the school year welcoming the incoming new students to Miami. Welcome Home is attended by nearly 3,000 students and provides entertaining ways to get acquainted with campus and meet other students. From roller skating to succulent planting to dodgeball on Cook Field, there is something for everyone. We’ll end the night with a fireworks show behind Benton Hall. This is a perfect way to make Miami feel like home!
Art After Dark
Art After Dark is back! On Friday, Sept. 13, it’s your time to get creative trying a whole lot of arts and crafts, including sculpture, coloring, figure drawing, Chinese calligraphy, origami, collage, button making, book binding, beads and threads, knitting, and paint your own pottery – all while listening to live acoustic music and eating homemade gourmet popcorn!
Homecoming Parade
Check out the Homecoming Parade on Sept. 28 as we celebrate Miami’s Homecoming and be sure to see the new student organization golf cart section of the parade.
Beyond the Bricks
Looking to get off off campus and explore beyond the iconic red bricks? Come with MAP as we head to Kings Island’s Halloween Haunt on Oct. 5 and the Aronoff Center’s showing of Funny Girl on Nov. 23!
Family Weekend Comedian
Join MAP and the Performing Arts Series for the Family Weekend Comedian on Friday, Oct. 18. Hosted in Millett Hall, this year’s headliner is Sal Vulcano from Impractical Jokers! Tickets are on sale now and you don’t want to miss one of the biggest shows of the year!
Fallin’ for Goggin
The annual Fallin for Goggin will be hosted on Rec Quad on Friday, Oct. 25 (rain date scheduled for Nov. 1). In previous years, there have been craft activities, rides, custom street signs, yard games, and of course free food and t-shirts! This is one of the biggest events MAP puts on in the fall semester and you won’t want to miss out.
