I am honored to serve as Ohio University's Interim Dean of Students and grateful to step into this role just as you all returned to campus and classes last week.
As the semester begins, I want to remind you all of the University's freedom of expression resources and policies. Freedom of expression is at our foundation, and we encourage open dialogue and growth. At the same time, we want to ensure the safety of all involved in any events of expression at our institution.
While you return to your routines and possibly explore new ways to get engaged at OHIO, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can all accomplish this year.

Mold and mildew prevention |
When it comes to mold and mildew, prevention is key. The CDC states that molds are found in virtually every environment and can thrive in warm, humid places. If there are concerns about mold in any campus buildings, including residence halls, we want to remediate the situation. Contact Facilities Management and Safety at 740.593.2911. They’re available 24/7 and can quickly respond to your needs the same day (and no later than 24 hours).

| Fire Safety: Know What to Do |
Fire safety is everyone’s responsibility. Knowing what can trigger an alarm, keeping exits clear, and following fire safety guidelines can help keep our community safe. Remember: never ignore a fire alarm, disable a smoke detector, or remain inside when an alarm sounds. Visit our fire safety website for evacuation locations, emergency procedures, prohibited items, and more.
