   The Learning Curve: How Education and the Economy are Reshaping the Heartland

Wednesday, December 10

6:30-8:00

Miami Middletown Downtown

4 North Main St.

Free parking behind the building

As the economy goes, so goes education. This is true across the nation,
but how does the relationship between our schools and our economy
impact us here in Middletown? Students in Miami University Joe
Sampson's Journalism class spent months immersed in field research in Middletown examining questions of
community identity and engagement through the lens of public education.
Now, in partnership with the Miami-Whitewater Valley Public Media
(MWVPM) coalition, Sampson's students are eager to present their
findings to the Middletown community. How is this paper and steel mill
community seeking a new identity, economy, and educational future?

Join us as Sampson's Journalism students present their finding in a
multimedia community forum. This event is free and open to the public.
Refreshments will be served.
