Welcome to a new year at OHIO! Campus is already alive with energy as students return to Athens to begin the semester. This edition is filled with resources, events and opportunities designed to support your student as they settle in and start their journey.
In addition to the resources across our website and official social media accounts, parents and families can opt in to receive emergency alerts — you must opt in before the start of each academic year. The OHIO Alert system is Ohio University’s official emergency communications resource.
See you all in just a few days!

Welcome Week includes some OHIO favorites like Movie on the Lawn, Baker Bash, Academic College Welcomes, the Annual Class Photo, making it the perfect start to the semester for both new and returning Bobcats.
