Hi there Bobcats! It's Week 5 of spring semester, and while the weather remains a giant question mark, the Ohio University campus is full of things to participate in for students, faculty and staff, and community members alike. Read on for a few highlights of what's happening this week.

#SayHerName: Remember Black Women and Girls Killed by Police  (Tuesday, Feb. 13, 12-4 p.m., Baker University Center 219): In February 2015, the African American Policy Forum engaged the public in a discussion acknowledging experiences of police brutality against black women and girls under #SayHerName. This event is co-sponsored with the Multicultural Center, the LGBT Center, OMSAR, and Ebony Minds. Learn the names of these women and girls - like Charleena Lyles, Elena "Ebbie" Mondragon, and Alteria Woods - and create an art display with the women's names so others can learn about them as well. Participants are also encouraged to work on the names of trans-women who have been killed as part of TransLivesMatter.

Workshop: How to Find Research Funding (PIVOT and LEO)  (Tuesday, Feb. 13, 4-5 p.m., Baker University Center 231): This workshop is designed to help investigators find funding for fellowships/grants for research/creative activity using PIVOT and LEO. Pivot is a comprehensive database for identifying funding opportunities, including grants and fellowships. LEO is the University's database to track proposal submissions and is searchable by principle investigator, department, college and external sponsor. A repeat session will take place at noon on Wednesday, but researchers need attend only one.

3 Minute Thesis Ⓡ Competition (Tuesday, Feb. 13, 7 p.m.): Competitors have 3 minutes to present a concise, compelling oration on their thesis and its significance that can be presented to a non-specialist audience. Any doctoral candidate (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) enrolled at Ohio University that has been admitted to candidacy (e.g., passed comprehensive exams) and whose culminating project is a research-based dissertation is eligible to compete. Participants MUST be enrolled as a student when the competition takes place, and cannot have already defended their dissertation. All participants must be available to participate in one of the semi-final rounds (Tuesday, Feb. 13 OR Thursday Feb. 15) AND the final round on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

Spring Career and Internship Fair (Wednesday, Feb. 14, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Baker Center Ballroom): Don't miss this opportunity to network with hundreds of employers right on Ohio University's Athens campus.
Connect with recruiters, explore industries, and practice your networking skills. Want to know which employers are coming?
