September has been quite the busy month - from the start of classes to Welcome Week to Family Weekend. And now Homecoming is just a a few days away. Join the University community in celebrating the OHIO spirit with a week of fun events leading up to the Homecoming football game. This is a great time to celebrate being a Bobcat while getting to engage with alumni and other current students.
With so much happening this month, remember to step back and take a break when you need to. Whether that means taking a walk to enjoy the fall weather, attending a yoga class, finding your favorite bench on campus to take a rest, or dropping in to a counseling session.
I'm here to support you when you need it.

They’re available 24/7 and can quickly respond to your needs the same day (and no later than 24 hours).
