Looking out for one another

This team is led by our Dean of Students office, and your support helps us ensure we can quickly respond with the appropriate resources to keep all in our community safe.

As fall semester comes to a close and Winter Break approaches, please remember to take time to care for yourself and those around you. Most importantly, do not hesitate to ask for help if you need it 鈥 We are here to help you, and we want to do everything we can to help you succeed during your time at OHIO.

In Bobcat Pride,

Kathy Fahl
Dean of Students
