Good Morning,
We’re two days out from the start of Spring Break, and many Bobcats are wrapping up midterms today and tomorrow.
If you’re one of those Bobcats, and you're looking to maintain your well-being, consider going to a guided meditation session today in the ARC at 2 p.m.
Or maybe you need more intellectual stimulation. In that case, two immigration attorneys will be giving a talk in Baker at 1:30 p.m. today on immigration issues related to President Trump’s recent executive orders.
Unrelated, but important: OU’s Course Catalog for Fall 2017 was released this week. Get to planning.
