The Fresh X 2008 student leaders and staff coordinators

Fresh X will take place rain or shine. Refunds for the trips are made only if canceled by Saturday, August 1. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

One of the perks of attending Fresh X is moving into your assigned room early! This means you will beat the crowds. You may not have enough time to completely set up your room before the trip, but it is a great start!

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Debbie Lamp, Director of Student Involvement and the Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, at 740-368-3198 or involveu@owu.edu. We look forward to your arrival in August!
