Bobcat Parents & Families,

You might notice that much of this week's issue of Keeping Bobcats Informed is dedicated to Halloween. Athens has historically been a hub for a lot of activity during Halloween weekend, and  I encourage you to be smart and stay safe while you enjoy the weekend. Each of us has a responsibility to stay healthy, be respectful and look out for one another in order to help ensure this Halloween is a safe and enjoyable occasion for everyone in our community. We are eager to see our students connect with each other and have fun, and we hope the resources and events below will be of use to them as they navigate the weekend.

As a reminder, Dads Weekend is quickly approaching, and we look forward to welcoming families to campus once again! Prepare for your trip by visiting and checking out all of the events we have planned! for more information as the date approaches.

Happy Halloween,

Kathy A Fahl, MSW

Dean of Students
