Hey there Bobcats, it's Week 4! Even though the weather is still wintry, spring semester is in full swing. From informative lectures to a professional development workshop series, there are incredible learning opportunities happening all across campus!

Check out this week's featured events below and be sure to visit the OHIO Calendar of University Events, the University's official online calendar, for more:

Wealth & Poverty Week on Identities and Inequalities (opens in a new window):  Our identities have a profound impact on our lives. While the enforcement of identity norms and the hierarchies associated with different identities can be highly problematic, our identities can also be a great source of belonging and pride. The Wealth and Poverty Week on Identities and Inequalities brings the Ohio University community together to discuss specific inequalities related to identities, and how identities can be part of the solutions to these inequalities.

Prepare for the Fair: The Spring Career and Internship Fair is next week on Wednesday, Feb. 14, so the CLDC is offering opportunities throughout this week for students to learn about professional dress, resumes, cover letters and job searching. Events include:

  • Dress for Success Workshop (opens in a new window) (Monday, Feb. 5, 5:30-6:30 p.m., Amanda J. Cunningham Leadership Center, Baker University Center 366): Learn how to dress professionally for networking events and interviews - on a budget!
