OMA Information

As we end the Fall semester, the OMA team wants to thank you for being part of our community. We wouldn’t be as inclusive, warm, and welcoming of a space if you weren’t here to fill it with laughter, joy, and love throughout the semester. We in OMA wish you all the best on your finals, and a truly restful winter break. You’ve worked hard, you’ve more than earned it.

Beyond thanking you for what you do, we want to thank you for who you are. You make our space and campus a beautiful place to be. If you get a chance, stop by and see us before you start your break. We would love to wish you well in person.

See you in 2025!
