Dear Student Live team,

For today’s High Five Friday message, I simply want to express my most heartfelt appreciation for each and every one of you on the Student Life team. Each day it seems the rate of change becomes more rapid, and I want to thank you for your ongoing commitment to Ohio State students. To say this team is Scarlet and Great is an understatement, but it felt particularly important to say today.

One last thing, as we near Spring Break (March 10-14), I want to remind everyone to try to make it as much of a “meeting-free” break as possible. While students are taking the opportunity to refresh and recharge, I hope you all can make some time to do so, as well.

With much gratitude,

Melissa S. Shivers, PhD
Senior Vice President for Student Life
