Today's Update: Thursday, March 2

 Dear Student Life team, 

I want to thank all of you who attended or watched the live stream of this week’s Scarlet and Great Gathering. If you missed it, you can watch a recording of the morning session online.  

I do want to give you the important dates I mentioned during the Gatherings. I know they went by on the screen pretty quickly, so I thought it would be easier to list them here. 

  • April Scarlet and Great Gatherings: Thursday, April 13 – Ohio Union – 9:30 am. - Archie Griffin East Ballroom; 2:00 p.m. - RPAC – Meeting Rooms 1,2,3 
  • Report=Support Educational Module Deadline: Friday, April 28  
  • Spring Commencement: Sunday, May 7 - Noon 
  • Summer Celebration: Wednesday, June 7 

Some of dates listed are for fun activities (I can’t wait until our Student Life Summer Celebration in June!) but I also want to call to your attention the deadline to complete the Report=Support educational module on April 28.  

This is our required Title IX module that helps you understand your reporting obligations, as well as give you practice in how you would help someone who shares about an experience with sexual misconduct. As I mentioned at the Gatherings, please make sure complete the module soon. It’s required for non-union employees to be considered for merit increases during the Annual Merit Compensation Process. 

I also mentioned the intranet at the Gatherings. You’ll find it on the Student Life website homepage under the Admin Services tab. 

It’s a comprehensive resource center for Student Life team members, and a hidden gem on our website. Not available to the public, you’ll be able to log in to find all sorts of important information, including helpful human resources guidance, request form links and a whole menu to help you identify proper department contacts to meet various needs as a team member.  

Is there something you’d like to see added to our intranet? Reach out to Student Life Marketing at slmarcomm@osu.edu.  

I encourage you to check out this Scarlet and Great resource.
