Campus is buzzing with energy, and we’re excited to kick off the semester with you. This edition is packed with resources, events and ways to get connected as you settle in and start your journey.
We are excited to have you here and look forward to welcoming you at events throughout campus! If you are a first-generation student (one of the first in your family to attend college), we recognize that you will face unique experiences as you begin this journey. You can find support, community and resources to take on this new adventure.
See you all in just a few days!

It's time for Welcome Week! If you're living on campus, spend time getting adjusted to your space and settling in. If you're commuting, set your car's navigation to Ohio University. Everyone is invited to dive into the semester with Welcome Week. It's packed with events designed to connect you with faculty and staff, student organizations and campus resources. Whether you're a new Bobcat or returning, what better way to begin than with Movie on the Lawn, Baker Bash, your Academic College Welcome, the Annual Class Photo and more?
