ADA -- John and Tabitha Coler of Philo, Ohio, have made a lead gift to establish The Shrivers Pharmacies and Coler LTC Endowed Scholarship Fund at Ohio Northern University. The endowment will support scholarships for Ohio Northern students majoring in pharmacy and related allied health sciences as well as business who demonstrate financial need and reside in the communities served by Shrivers Pharmacies.
The first scholarship will be awarded during the 2017-18 academic year.
In many ways, this endowment continues the Colers’ gratitude, visionary spirit and emphasis on serving the residents of southeastern Ohio.
More than 100 organizations are expected to be on hand when Ohio Northern University hosts the Winter 2017 Career and Graduate / Professional School Fair from 9:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 27 in the King Horn Sports Center Field House.
The event offers an ideal situation for reporters to gauge the job market and gain the insights of employers, those looking to launch their careers and individuals who are preparing students for the workforce.
The occasion is designed for students seeking both full- and part-time employment as well as co-ops, internships, and admission to graduate or professional schools.
There has been a steady increase in illnesses/absences among the students of Ada Schools. Respiratory symptoms of coughing, chest congestion, sore throat, runny nose and sneezing are among our students as well as the flu-like symptoms of fever, chills, headache and nausea. The spread of these airborne viruses can be controlled with prompt diagnosis and effective preventative measures.
A child needs to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Any child placed on antibiotics is contagious to his peers until the first full day of medication has been administered.
I have a relative, a friend, and a preacher-man acquaintance, all with a neurological disease: multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy. No wonder I found myself in a doctors office reading a book about artists with one of these neurological conditions. The point of this article is to encourage those who have a progressive disease, neurological or otherwise, not to give up, test your talents, and live life as fully as possible every day. Even if you yourself don't have such a condition, you probably know someone who does.
