Having a difficult transition into spring semester?
Returning to campus after a long and relaxing break can be challenging. If you find that you are feeling fatigued, withdrawn, or isolated and/or are noticing a change in sleeping patterns, you may be suffering from a common mood disorder like depression.
It's important to know that if you or a friend are experiencing these symptoms, you are not alone. 31% of college students report feeling some level of depression during their second semester and The Ohio State University at Marion has resources and staff to help. Feel free to call or email Leslie Beary in the Office of Counseling and Wellness to set up an appointment to talk at 740-725-6349 or beary.4 at osu.edu.<mailto:beary.4 at osu.edu>
Remember, if you feel that you need to test your mood at any time during the year, you can take an anonymous online mental health screening, which can be accessed here<http://www.mentalhealthscreening.org/screening/ohiomarion>. By taking a screening, you can find out in just a few minutes whether you may be experiencing symptoms of depression and what you should do regarding treatment. Keep your mental health in mind as you take a fresh start in a successful spring semester!
Marion Campus Library displays the National Archives' The Bill of Rights and You
The Marion Campus Library is currently displaying a new pop-up exhibition from the National Archives<http://www.archives.gov>, The Bill of Rights and You, commemorating the 225th anniversary of the ratification of this landmark document. The Bill of Rights and You spotlights one of the most remarkable periods in American history, explores the origins of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution (collectively known as the Bill of Rights<http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights.html>), illustrates how each amendment protects U.S. citizens, and looks at how Americans exercise the rights outlined in the amendments. The Bill of Rights and You invites visitors to connect directly with the people, places, and events that mark this historic document's evolution. This exhibit runs through February 28, 2017.
"In My Own Words": Fall Semester Essay Writers Recognized
The "In My Own Words" freshman writing series continued this semester, highlighting the powerful student stories we encounter in the classroom.

The participating sections, along with the top three essays, are listed here. Additionally, essays were read and judged by a panel of judges unaffiliated with the class sections: Trent Ramsey's "PA#1," Brandon Slover-Baffone's untitled audio narrative, and "Music To My Ears" were selected as the top three essays, and received $25 gift cards.
