From May until August, Connect2 OWU will be published monthly. Look for the next edition on May 28. We’ll return to our regular weekly schedule in late summer, when we’ll be preparing to welcome new students, inaugurate Ohio Wesleyan’s 16th president, and kick off an exciting academic year. Have a wonderful summer!
