OHIO Technology Support is here
The Office of Information Technology has compiled a number of resources for students including information about the first-year techonolgy grant, laptop loans, hotspot program and tech support, ideal hardware recommendations, etc.
First Science Café for Fall
The Science Cafe series will kick off with a discussion about college amid the COVID-19 pandemic with the Athens City-County Health Department on September 2 at 5 p.m.
Athens Campus Facilities
Recreation facilities and Alden Library, which will provide both online and in-person services, will open on a limited basis. Students enrolled on the Athens Campus, regardless of phases, can use these spaces.
KEEP YOUR COMMUNITIES SAFE
Schools like UNC Chapel Hill and Notre Dame started the semester in-person and have now suspended in-person instruction because of clusters of activities linked to off-campus parties, residence halls and SFL houses. Our community depends on the responsible behavior of all students, faculty and staff. Please do your part in keeping our campus open. Read more>
