It's a busy - and interesting - campus this summer

Ken Collins caught some of the recent action on campus with these photos of HOBY leadership students arriving on campus.

Many sports camps take place during the summer, as well. The ONU students who do take summer classes do not nearly equal the enrollment during the academic year, but campus remains a busy place for others.

The camps and conferences help pay for buildings that would otherwise remain empty, supplement some faculty and staff salaries, and provide an opportunity for youth to visit campus and, perhaps, enroll when they graduate from high school.

Starting at measure 16

Ken Collins caught some of the recent action on campus with rehearsals underway by the Cadets high brass, low brass, and drum sections. The Cadets perform at free concert at 8 p.m., Sunday, in Dial-Roberson Stadium.
