Dear Student Life team, 

Happy High Five Friday. 

High Fives to Student Life Marketing’s Johnna Walls and Travis Barnhart for taking care of some last-minute, fast turnaround graphic requests.  

Risk and Emergency Management’s Paul O’Leary gets a High Five for hosting an opportunity for many Student Life department users to meet the vendor who supplies one of our security systems. They discussed current issues as well as future hardware and software innovations.  

High Five to Ohio State Lima’s Amy Livchak for her “It’s a Wrap: wrap up party for the semester” for all student orgs. It was well attended, featured great food and was an awesome transitional experience. 

Also in Lima, Justin F. Courtney was featured on WLIO-TV's Noon Edition to talk about Orientation and Academic Celebration.   

The Housing and Residence Education Learning and Involvement team created a supportive and fun space for students to prepare for their finals through the Study Jamz event. High Fives to Shannon Mullally, Rebecca Kapusta, Julius Mayo, Leah Wheeler and Jenn Schoolcraft for their planning and support.   

High Five to Student Live Technology Services’ Dan Hausman for being so fast and helpful with issues related to our mass emailing system, Maestro. This work is often so essential to what we do in Student Life.  

The Student Staff Development Committee, led by Colleen Lins, gets a High Five for putting on the Graduating Senior Dinner this week. The event recognizes and celebrates our graduating student staff members on the Ohio Union Student Activities, Leadership and Community Engagement, and Events and Conferences teams. These departments haven’t done this kind of ceremony before this year, but it won’t be the last.  

Have a Scarlet and Great weekend!
