From the Editor
The Fall Semester had many high points for RCCAM–especially the MarCom team! The new brand rollout and redesign of the magazine were exciting and refreshing, and we have received great feedback about our new look. Thank you!
We also had an extremely successful year with our Art Museum Student Organization (AMSO). This group has been on the rise growing stronger each year with some very talented and motivated students at the wheel. Additionally, we are making great progress with our Museums Miami collaboration, adding a student assistant position to the team to help us focus on marketing all of Miami’s collecting partners.
On a personal note, it was super exciting for me to launch into the new academic year as my daughter begins her studies at Miami. Since the very first day I brought her to campus (2011), she has loved visiting the Art Museum and decided early on that she wanted to study at Miami. Welcome Makayla and the class of 2028!

This Spring is set for more excitement as we roll out new exhibitions, engaging programs, and events.
I’m especially excited to be working with students and faculty in Miami’s Art Therapy program as we launch a new student Art and Wellness at Miami University (AWMU) program funded through a Miami University Mental Health Incubator Grant—this program hosted at RCCAM will be run by students for students and we are thrilled to be supporting student mental health and wellness.
This semester we are also featuring alumni who worked, interned or volunteered at the Art Museum through Alumni Spotlights, a few of which are in this issue with more “loading” on our blog and socials throughout the year.
