#MoveInMiami

Our annual day of giving

At Miami University, tradition runs deep. From kissing under Upham Arch to rubbing the turtle heads for luck, these moments connect generations of RedHawks. Now, #MoveInMiami is one of those traditions. On August 21, 2025, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends will unite to keep the spirit of Miami strong. Whether you choose to fund scholarships, support student organizations, enhance academic programs, or upgrade campus facilities, every gift made during #MoveInMiami helps carry the tradition forward. This is your chance to make a lasting impact and ensure future students experience everything that makes Miami unforgettable. Join us in celebrating the power of tradition and the potential of what’s next.
