Jun 17, 2026   |  ATHENS CAMPUS

Whether you're taking classes, starting an internship, or taking some much needed time to reset, know that we're still here throughout the summer for our Bobcats.

There's plenty happening in Athens over the next few months, and we're already planning an exciting fall semester. You'll hear from me as I share important reminders, move-in tips, and Welcome Week updates later this summer. As always, reach out if you need anything.

This festival is all about celebrating freedom, resilience, history, and the power of community — and everyone is welcome. This year's festival is being hosted in collaboration with community partners. Take a Heritage Square Black History Tour with Mount Zion at 10 a.m. (registration required), and join the celebration at Richland Avenue Park from 1-4 p.m.

Honor Juneteenth through service — by volunteering, you'll help create a space for learning, celebration, reflection and community connection.

Join the Bobcat Move-In Crew on Thursday and Friday of first-year move-in and be part of this exciting initiative. Get the opportunity to move in early and earn volunteer hours, receive a complimentary t-shirt, and indulge in some tasty snacks. Applications are open until August 1.

It's never too early to start thinking about how to take care of you when fall semester begins. Consider making time to recharge, seek out basic needs support when you need it, get outside, or get involved with a new student org. Take time to make a plan now so you can thrive in August.
