Brad Bates, Miami's Director of Athletics, encourages all former alumni to return to Oxford for their reunions.
"Each sport will celebrate our Bicentennial and it is our hope that every past and present student-athlete be on campus to help us commemorate this momentous occasion," said Bates. "Our Bicentennial goals are to 1) engage all Miami student-athlete alumni; 2) celebrate Miami University's athletic history; 3) engage, excite and energize Miami's fan base, and 4) increase private donations and partnerships. This is a special time at Miami and we are striving to make these events especially memorable for all who return."
