As homecoming weekend is now but a memory, students still have a chance to show their school spirit by attending the football game this Saturday or get to know fellow classmates through a rock climbing clinic.
Donkey Coffee and Espresso is hosting f-word, described as “a provocatively good time … with a new installment of their spoken-word musings,” on Friday and Lex & Rob + Kallan, a vocal and guitar medley, on Saturday.
Also on Saturday, the Ohio is playing Eastern Michigan in football while honoring veterans, active-duty military, police, firefighters and other first responders. High school band members will be joining the Marching 110 during the game as well. The softball team will also take the field on Saturday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. against Charleston.
On the more adventurous side, Outdoor Pursuits is leading a rock climbing clinic for any beginners that are interested in the sport. There will also be recreational ice skating held in Bird Arena on Sunday for those looking to burn off some steam before the week begins.
