Dear Students, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed your winter break and are ready for new adventures this semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the semester gets underway, campus is already busy with Winter Welcome<\/strong><\/a>, a series of events designed to help you reconnect with friends, meet new people and get settled into your classes. I encourage you to explore the full lineup and take advantage of these opportunities to start the semester on strong footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homecoming events are happening soon. Check out the Tilt the Floor tailgate<\/a> at Sandburg Flicks from 4-6 p.m.<\/strong> on Friday, Jan. 30<\/strong>, before hopping on the shuttle to cheer on Men\u2019s Basketball<\/a> as they take on Wright State. The celebration continues Saturday, Jan. 31<\/strong>, when Women\u2019s Basketball<\/a> tips off at 2 p.m.<\/strong> at the Klotsche Center<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career and Internship Fairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

51ÁÔÆæ will host several\u00a0internship and career fairs<\/a>\u00a0this semester. The Center for Student Experience & Talent provides guidance on what to do before, during and after these fairs to make the most of these events. You can also find community service opportunities and on-campus jobs through the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gibson Greets Video Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I invite you to check out the Gibson Greets video series, where I visit different parts of campus and meet the people who make 51ÁÔÆæ distinctive. The first two sets of videos are below, with a third installment coming\u00a0soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
