There has been an overwhelming response from Miami University students on social media to a recent Huffington Post article that mentions Miami ranking by U.S. News and World Report as the 3rd best college or university in the United States for undergraduate teaching.
The ranking, which was posted by U.S. News and World Report in September 2012, has been given new life, according to Associate Director of University Communications, Claire Wagner.
"Social media is redefining news," Wagner said. "Just because it happened then, if you didn't know about it, it's still news to you. So it's fortunate for that another member of the media might pick up a story and give it a new life."
This has been the third time Miami has been in the top eight for best undergraduate teaching, according to Wagner. This ranking is based surveys of top administrators of universities.
"It's so gratifying that others are aware of the caliber of our faculty and of the close interactions that they have with students in order to have an impact on them," Wagner said.
