Here are the top “5 Things to Know” this week:

-
Be sure to submit all midterm grades so that students can make informed decisions about their academic success. Encourage your students to take advantage of the resources available to them, such as academic advising, office hours, the Writing and Communication Center, the OUAA, and the Tutor Zone. If you have specific concerns about a student’s academic progress, please contact the OUAA. For concerns about student well-being, do not hesitate to reach out to Care Support Services.
- Please remind your students that the Annual Undergraduate Research Opportunities Fair will be held this Wednesday, October 15. The fair is open to all majors and class years. You can find additional information on the event website.
