Jul 15, 2026   |  ATHENS CAMPUS

The summer is flying by, and that means we are closer to Move-In time! Now’s the perfect time to check your class registration and maybe explore campus job opportunities. Our current student resources can help you get a head start on anything you might need before the semester begins. 

You'll be joined by all the new Bobcats we just hosted during Orientation this summer, and I'm so excited to see you all back on campus together next month. You'll start receiving this newsletter from the Dean of Students office every other week again. Here's to an exciting academic year ahead.

See you soon!

Kathy A Fahl, MSW
Associate Vice President & Dean of Students

In just over a month we'll welcome back any students that spent their summer away from campus as well as all of our new Bobcats. There are plenty of Welcome Week events already on the calendar like Movies on the Lawn, the Involvement Fair, Party at Ping and more. These events are open to all Bobcats, whether you are new or returning, live in a residence hall, commute to campus or live off-campus. We'll see you August 20!

Looking for student org events? The BobcatConnect events calendar is filled with events hosted by students, from meetings to shows to other fun events!

Move-in day should be memorable and stress-free. Save yourself time and headaches by shipping items to our partners, Storage Scholars, over the summer. They receive your packages, notify you, and deliver everything to your room before you arrive on campus. Students should sign up for their services prior to August 1.

At Ohio University, well-being encompasses all we need to grow, engage, connect, and succeed in both life and learning. THRiVE is OHIO’s ongoing well-being initiative, designed to help every Bobcat engage with health and well-being in meaningful and manageable ways.

From small, practical steps to comprehensive care, THRiVE helps Bobcats connect to what they need to live well and learn well.
