Keeping Bobcats informed, March 3, 2021
Women’s History Month
Annually celebrated in March, Women's History Month acknowledges the many contributions women have made in America's rich past. From its beginnings as International Women's Day on March 8, 1911, it has been expanded twice by the United States Congress, first as a week-long celebration in 1981 and to its current month-long celebration in 1987. In honor of the month-long celebration, the Women's Center as well as other University departments are hosting a number of events.

Your PID and How to Find it
When you register to take our Vault Health COVID-19 tests at the Athens testing location or on the Vault website for at-home tests, you need to sign in with your OHIO email and PID. If you don’t know your PID, you can find it on your OHIO ID card – look for the letter P followed by nine numerals. You must include the P and all of the numbers when you register for your test. If you don’t have access to your OHIO ID, you can find your PID by logging into your OHIO Accounts page.

Midterm Study Tips
Join a weekly virtual study room to review class material with peers, don't forget about all of the undergraduate and graduate resources offered by Alden Library, reserve a study room or table, grab a coffee from the Front Room Coffeehouse to stay energized, and review these study tips for online learning. Don't forget to take breaks between study sessions, stay hydrated, and take some time away from the screen to connect with friends and family. Talk with peers anonymously through Togetherall or reach out to CPS for mental health support.
Nutrition Resources
As midterms are approaching, it's important to remember to maintain a healthy, balanced diet and make time for meals throughout your day. If you have a meal plan, you can receive help for a special diet or food allergy from Culinary Services. You can sign up for telehealth nutrition counseling, meet with a well-being coach, or try some of these easy, healthy recipes- Butternut Squash & Black Bean Tacos or the Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie from Boyd Market.
