We're nearly to the half-way point of the semester. Now is a good time to meet with your Academic Advisor, find your favorite study space for midterms and check in on ways to support your well-being.
I'm excited to cheer on our Bobcats and welcome our alumni back to campus throughout the week for Homecoming! This week is a time for all Bobcats, current and past, to celebrate what it means to be a part of the OHIO community. Remember, once a Bobcat, forever a Bobcat!
We're also nearing Halloween weekend in Athens. Though the University does not organize the events Uptown the weekend of October 25, we do take steps to make sure students are celebrating safely. Look out for a message from me early next week with more details. You can also find alternative events from the Collegiate Recovery Community this weekend and the following.
Enjoy this beautiful fall weather!
