<p class="MsoNormal"><b>GE Open Option Information Session Friday, January 25<sup>th</sup> @ 12pm</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Service-Learning Initiative is excited to announce that the General Education (GE) Open Option designation is now available for approved s-designated courses. The GE Open Option allows approved s-designated courses to fulfill elective
hour GE requirements for undergraduates. We are excited about this opportunity to make service-learning even more widely accessible to our undergraduate students, and we will be encouraging faculty to request the S/GE Open Option designation for their courses.
In order to answer questions about the GE Open Option and provide further assistance, we would like to invite you to join us for an S/GE Information Session this Friday, January 25<sup>th</sup> at 12:00pm in Thompson Library 165. If you are interested in
attending, please RSVP to Harmony Cox at <a href="mailto:hcox@esue.ohio-state.edu">
hcox@esue.ohio-state.edu</a>. If you are unable to attend this session but would still like the information provided, please contact us.<o:p></o:p></p>
