Don Crain (‘70) has been called the “Mr. Miami” of his generation, and his story is a compelling example of the way Miami can affect the lives of students and scholars. To celebrate Ohio Archives Month, the Miami University Libraries is proud to welcome him to King Library for an inspiring hour over lunch, “My Miami Journey’s Perfect End — the Miami Archives by Donald Crain, Class of 1970.”
Join us to hear Don’s firsthand stories — from his journey to enroll at Miami and the inspiration for his life’s work to highlights from his enduring relationships with Miami’s past and current Presidents. You’ll hear why he characterizes his continuous service with such passion and generosity, and why he’s one of the most decorated volunteers in Miami history.
A former varsity athlete inducted into the Miami University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2019, Don’s tireless commitment includes serving on the Board of Trustees, teaching classes in the Farmer School of Business, and twice receiving the Don Loss Volunteer of the Year award. He’ll also share the joys of his Miami family legacy, having a wife and two daughters who are all proud Farmer School of Business graduates.
