ADA — The Ohio Northern men's tennis team will look to continue to move forward and challenge for an Ohio Athletic Conference title in 2017-18 under the guidance of second-year head coach Mike Bonnell.
In his first season as Ohio Northern's first full-time men's tennis head coach, Bonnell guided the Polar Bears to an 11-11 mark and a sixth place finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Community Facilities Program has awarded Ohio Northern University a $67.2 million loan to support a variety of campus initiatives, including funds to help construct a new 105,000-square-foot College of Engineering building.
Other programs will benefit as well, including the departments of Technological Studies and Psychology, Sociology and Criminal Justice, which will occupy the vacated space in the Biggs Engineering Building.
June 26 1938 was the date set for the cornerstone of the new post office on South Main and West Lincoln Avenue. It was placed on the southeast corner facing Main Street.
