It was wonderful to see Athens filled with Bobcat families this past weekend for Sibs Weekend. I hope you enjoyed some time to catch up, explore campus and participate in any of the fun programming throughout the weekend. We have one last Family Weekend left this year, Moms Weekend from April 4-6.
As this semester winds on, if you find yourself facing any obstacles please remember our Basic Needs resources. From emergency microgrants, to the food pantry, to mental health care financial support, we want to make sure you have what you need to succeed.
Keep pushing forward, stay connected and know that we’re here to support you every step of the way.
