A note from the President...

This past week's celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday was a reminder to us to reflect on our blessings and to be thankful for one another and our University. We are truly thankful for you, our alumni, families, friends, faculty, staff, and members of the community who support Midland each day with your time, talents, and treasure.

Your partnership not only supports our mission, but gives students endless opportunities to grow and to find their purpose - in their community and around the world.

I am grateful to each of you who has made the decision to be a part of this University. You Matter to Midland University and we hope that you know how important you are to the Midland story - now and in the future.

Today is #GivingTuesday!

November 28th is #GivingTuesday and Midland University is participating on this day dedicated to giving globally.

In 2016, the fifth year of #GivingTuesday, millions of people in 98 countries came together to give back and support the causes they believe in. Over $177 million was raised online to benefit a tremendously broad range of organizations, and much more was given in volunteer hours, donations of food and clothing, and acts of kindness.

Make a gift today to support Midland students and be a part of #GivingTuesday!
