Bobcat Idea, September 2008

Bobcat Idea is a monthly e-newsletter from the Ohio University Alumni Association meant to inspire all Bobcats.


Homecoming 2008 – Get Your Green On!


Homecoming at Ohio University is September 22-27. We hope your calendars are already marked for this celebration – complete with the traditional pep rally, parade and football game, as well as new campus activities. While this year’s events are a great way to show off the Green & White pride of OU, the Homecoming theme "Get Your Green On!" also reflects OHIO's continuing commitment to being environmentally conscious. Go Bobcats!

Biking Bobcats

During the summer, Kevin Witham '88, participated in the alumni association’s Bike Vermont, Bobcat Bicycling Tour trip. This six-day, five-night tour treated the group to spectacular vistas of the Green and Adirondack Mountains, lush farmland, and apple orchards stretching down to the handsome shores of Lake Champlain, a superb collection of craft shops, a stay in Vermont’s prettiest college town, and some of the best cycling imaginable. During the tip, Kevin playfully presented mock-OU diplomas to the non-Bobcats on the tour!

Kevin is the Senior Associate Director with Undergraduate Admissions at Ohio University.
