The cherry blossoms are about to bloom and the excitement of Commencement for our graduating students is in the air. I hope to see some of you on campus for the final Family Weekend of the year, Moms Weekend, April 10-12. Events continue to be added to the calendar!
Some of your students might be searching for summer internships and jobs. First, remind them not to get overwhelmed by the process. And second, remind them of the resources available to them (many even after they graduate). Career Services is a great place to start.
There's also still plenty of resources to help your student have a safe end to the spring semester. From Sexual Assault Awareness month, to Take Back the Night, to health resources from our partners at OhioHealth, we are here to support them.
I wish your students luck as they prep for finals!

Being away at college is exciting. Students are on their own, and they can make their own rules. But, although it may seem like it, college isn’t all fun and games. Protecting their overall health and wellness should be a priority — including their sexual health. Find resources and options for care through OhioHealth Campus Care.
