Bobcat Idea, January 2009

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


Buy a book, support a scholarship

The Kari Rosenberg Scholarship was established in 2006 in memory of former graphic design student Kari Rosenberg, who was charged with an unparalleled spirit and vitality, but died tragically in an automobile accident.

Through her scholarship, she will be remembered and appreciated by future students at The School of Art for years to come.

To support this scholarship fund, visit any Barnes & Noble bookstore on Tuesday, Jan. 20 and present the BookFair ID 454033 to the cashier with your purchase. (This BookFair ID does not apply to online purchases.)

A portion of your purchase on Tuesday, Jan. 20, will benefit an OU student at the School of Art through the Kari Rosenberg Scholarship. For information, contact Julie Zdanowicz at zdanowic@ohio.edu.
