OXFORD, Ohio - The Bicentennial edition of Alumni Weekend at Miami University takes place at the Oxford campus next Thursday through Sunday (June 18-21) and several RedHawk athletic staff members and student-athletes will participate in the various festivities.
At 2 p.m. on Saturday, new head football coach MICHAEL HAYWOOD, Director of Athletic BRAD BATES, coaches from Miami's 2008-09 championship teams and student-athletes from various sports will greet varsity alumni and friends of athletics at the Walter L. Gross, Jr. Family Student-Athlete Development Center. Alumni Weekend attendees can register for the event now.
The event will conclude by 3:15 p.m. so that those who wish to attend the Miami Merger event can do so.

Not a Merger? "Acquisitions" (a Miamian married to a non-Miamian) are welcome to join our effort to break this world record. This free event is something you won't want to miss. Not many can say they are part of a world record! There will be giveaways, merger t-shirt sales, and even the conclusion of an actual wedding ceremony between two 2009 grads. So join us at the Upham Arch at 4:15 on Saturday (registration will begin at 3:30) for a fun and light-hearted event that will surely go down in the Miami history books (as well as the Guinness book).
Participants will need to provide a copy of their marriage certificate so it can be presented to Guinness to make the record official.
SPECIAL BOOK SIGNING BY BOB KURZ ON SATURDAY, JUNE 20
