Ohio Northern University's new students will be introduced to the numerous campus organizations and activities during “Welcome Fest” from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday on the campus. The event will be held on the “tundra,” west of the chapel in the heart of campus.
Representatives of approximately 120 student groups are expected to participate in a Welcome Fest.
The traditional activity introduces new students to opportunities on campus and helps new students in the transition to college life.

Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
Either way, it’s an opportunity to take a walk and view some art that is uniquely Ada. The Walk is spread through campus and may be viewed by following the ONU walking path, beginning near Affinity Village, west of The Freed Center.
Like clockwork, these lilies surpise us each August. Known appropriately as Surprise Lilies because they seem to suddenly appear, the flowers may be found across Ada gardens this week. These lilies are in the Ada depot park.
