Dear Student Life team,
In February’s Scarlet and Great Gathering video, Dr. T. shared some important dates coming up. Rather than make you pause and rewind the video to catch them all, here are the dates that she shared.
-
Monday, April 8: The annual Student Remembrance Ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at the Fawcett Center. This important event celebrates the memory of Buckeyes we’ve lost this academic year.
-
Wednesday, April 10: Our next Scarlet and Gray Gathering at 9:30 a.m. in the Ohio Union Archie M. Griffin Ballroom. The theme will be “appreciation.” Please note that we will have only one session this month, so if you can’t make it in-person, you can watch the live-stream or the recording that will be shared later.
-
Friday, April 12: The annual Leadership Awards at 4:30 p.m. in the Ohio Union.
-
Monday, April 22: The last day of spring semester classes.

These are just a few of the important events coming up for the rest of this busy semester. You can find many more on the Student Life calendar, including the many year-end celebrations and more awards ceremonies.
