  • Oxford Campus Plan

    Oxford Campus Plan

    1 2016 Voter Friendly Campus Designation & ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge Oxford Campus Plan 2 About Miami Nationally recognized as one of the most outstanding undergraduate institutions, Miami University is a public university located in Oxford, Ohio. With a student body of 16,000, Miami effectively combines a wide range of strong academic programs with faculty who love to teach and the personal attention ordinarily found only at much smaller institutions. Miami University prides itself on attracting and developing future leaders. Leadership often carries the expectation of strong civic engagement, and at the very least knowledge of and participation in the electoral process. We strive to have Miami students vote at rates that are higher than the national average. We believe that executing on this civic responsibility immediately following eligibility -- which is what occurs for most Miami students -- can be important in developing lifelong participation and commitment to the process. Freedom Summer The Mississippi Summer Project of 1964, commonly known as Freedom Summer, was a creative campaign to shine the national spotlight on Jim Crow Mississippi. Activists, with the help of college student volunteers, created grassroots networks to provide education, register voters and provide community support to marginalized Mississippi communities. The key to unlock the South was the vote, and activists provided literacy education, citizenship schools, and nonviolent direct action training in order to get African Americans to the polls and reveal the violent resistance that they faced. The struggle of African American citizens to vote led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and by the 1980s, African American political participation in Mississippi exploded with black elected officials at all level of government: local, state and federal.
