No matter what interests an ONU student has, there are probably clubs and organizations for then...even fencing.

Northern has 240 clubs and organizations for professional, social, or just plain fun activities.

The Fencing Club organized a few years ago and is now at the point of scheduling bouts with students from other campuses beginning next year.

The club provides the equipment, but some students buy their own. The group meets three evenings a week to practice foil, saber and epee fencing.
