IRONTON — Ohio University Southern will open its campus to community members Friday, Aug. 9, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for a block party in the Shaffer Courtyard.

Michelle Dotts, event coordinator, said the event will feature live entertainment, food and fun.

“I think this is a great opportunity for community members who have never seen our campus to explore what’s here,” Dotts said. “We want everyone to know community is important to OU Southern.”

Dotts said everything from cotton candy to hot dogs to professors in dunk tanks to cornhole will provide plenty of entertainment for a fun-filled evening.

The event is free and open to the public and follows OU Southern’s 2013 Scholarship Recognition Ceremony which will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the Bowman Auditorium.
