Due to COVID-19 restrictions and health concerns

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and health concerns, “The ONU Holiday Spectacular” has been canceled for 2020. 

Although this decision is regrettable, it is also the only reasonable choice in the current environment, especially in regards to protecting the health of the many performers and others involved in this production, including Ohio Northern students as well as other members of the university and area communities, in addition to guests and theater staff members.

Plans are to again host the extravaganza in 2021 and beyond.

The fully staged musical revue ushers in the holiday season and has become a holiday tradition for countless individuals.

Throughout his time as a pharmacy student at Ohio Northern University, Abdullah Alsamman has always sought out opportunities to learn about different career paths in pharmacy, including research. 

It was this motivation that led to a valuable opportunity to research anti-cancer potential in plants.

While taking a class with Dr. David Kinder, professor of medicinal chemistry, Abdullah was pleasantly surprised by Kinder’s teaching style, which focused on actively involving students in the learning process in a more direct manner than traditional methods.
