Bobcats get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving
Bobcats are ready for Thanksgiving break, a five-day weekend filled with rest in preparation of finals week starting Dec. 8.
While some students make the journey home to celebrate with loved ones around the dinner table, others remain in town for the holiday.
For those staying in town, Ohio University is hosting a variety of celebrations, including community dinners and themed meals. Nov. 26, the Patton College of Education is hosting a Home Away From Home Holiday Meal in Patton Hall room 120 on 100 E. Union St. from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Registration ends at noon Nov. 21.
The Home Away From Home Meal provides 150 traditional and international meals for dine-in or take-out and accommodates those with dietary restrictions. Along with traditional Thanksgiving foods, the event includes vegetarian, halal and vegan options, such as a quinoa dish and vegan chocolate brownies.
The Sustainable Thanksgiving Dinner invites all Bobcats to enjoy a vegan and vegetarian potluck Nov. 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., hosted by the Office of Sustainability. Students are encouraged to bring a dish and share a recipe, though bringing food is not required.
Supporting sustainable transportation: OHIO receives League of American Bicyclists silver-level honors
At Ohio University, bicycling is a sustainable means of commuting to and from campus and across Athens. Whether cyclists are riding in the bike lanes uptown, passing through one of the picturesque residence hall greens(opens in a new window) or pedaling down the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway(opens in a new window), using a bicycle for transportation is cheaper, better for the environment and healthier than using an automobile.
The League of American Bicyclists(opens in a new window), the premier grassroots advocacy organization encouraging better bicycling and protecting the rights of people who bike, has honored Ohio University with a silver-level Bicycle Friendly University award(opens in a new window) in recognition of OHIO’s continued achievements in promoting and enabling safe, accessible bicycling on campus.
