A note from the President...
Congratulations to the Class of 2017 and welcome to Midland's alumni family! I commend you for your achievements during your time as students, and I look forward to seeing your accomplishments in the next phase of your lives and careers. I invite each of you to remain connected and engaged as we work together to support this great university in the years ahead.
We will welcome students to campus over the next few weeks for New Student Registration Days as they take the first step in their journey to achieving their degrees. We are thrilled to have this latest class of students become our newest Warriors.
Some exciting things are happening during the summer. Renovations have already begun in the dining hall, plans are being made for students to study abroad, and the new MBA program certificates will launch in June. It's an exciting time to be a Warrior!
