As June comes to a close, we reach the midpoint of Ohio University's calendar-year performance cycle. This milestone is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and review the goals set at the beginning of the year.
We encourage you to celebrate what you have accomplished over the last six months and look ahead to what you still hope to achieve before year-end.
Consider setting aside some time to revisit your goals and reflect on how far you have come.

| I sit on campus but am not where most students spend their days.
Some visit me for work, others simply wander through.
What I contain grows and changes throughout the year, yet my overall purpose has remained much the same.
From the outside, I blend in; from the inside, many feel transported elsewhere.
I support learning without looking much like a classroom. Where am I?
