ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University’s main campus is located in Oxford, Ohio, with regional campuses in Hamilton, Ohio; Middletown, Ohio; the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester, Ohio; and the John E. Dolibois European Center in Luxembourg.

Our ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú 2040 Climate Action Plan is for the Oxford campus, a primarily residential campus of about 16,500 undergraduates and more than 2,000 graduate students. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú requires first- and second-year students to live on campus. With more than 3,700 employees, it is the largest employer in Butler County. The city of Oxford has a population of about 22,000 and is located in southwest Ohio.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.

In 1972, a relationship between ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University and the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe community and is dedicated to the revitalization of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú language and culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University and the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe are proud of this work and of the more than 140 Myaamia students who have attended ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú since 1991 through the Myaamia Heritage Award Program.

Myaamia Heritage logo (above): This ribbonwork pattern uses two large geometric diamonds (the left represents the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Tribe and the right represents ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University) extending on either side of a central diamond that represents the space where these two connect with a shared vision, a sense of cooperation and a deep respect for the reciprocal learning that results.
