Hello Graduates, <br><br>Please read the newsletter carefully for important dates and make it a habit to keep this document handy. As we change to Semesters, the deadlines and dates for most of the events at OU will come in this new newsletter and not from the faculty at OU. (yet another change!)<br>
<br>Thanks, <br>Dr. Franklin<br>

<br>As part of Ohio University's Science Café series funded by the 1804 Fund, the Ohio University Graduate College will be hosting two free showings of "PHD the Movie," at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12, in Templeton Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium. <br>
<br>Running time for the feature is one hour and 7 minutes. Though the film is not rated, audiences are advised to expect "PG" rating-style situations and humor. The film was produced in partnership with Caltech and currently is screening at hundreds of institutions around the globe. Seating will be first come, first serve.
