ONU alum Eric Porter's video shows a glance of the Ada campus

Ada Icon viewers who watched Gov. Mike DeWine's daily briefing earlier this week may have noticed a subtle Ohio Northern University shout-out in the video the governor played at the conclusion of the briefing.

A shot of the Ohio Northern University sign located in front of Lehr Memorial made its way into a music video for the bluegrass band Joe Mullens and Radio Ramblers.

The video, which was created by Eric Porter, a 2009 ONU alum, director of visual communications for the Ohio Attorney General's Office, contains shots from around the state, but oddly, from no other colleges or universities.
