Heather Shaffer, a fifth-year pharmacy student from Ada, Ohio, has been selected to the Paul Ambrose Scholars Program. 

The program exposes health professions students to influential public health professionals and prepares them to be leaders in addressing population health challenges at the national and community level.

Since 2002, more than 600 students from 207 academic institutions have become Paul Ambrose Scholars, equipped with leadership and organizational skills in public health education that can only be found outside of the classroom.

Several days of rain have caused more than puddles, as these photos by Ken Collins show. His camera caught the muddy messes southeast of Ada on Thursday. The Hardin County sheriff reports many county roads in have been posted with High Water signs and others have been closed due to isolated flooding across the roadways. Sheriff Keith Everhart urged caution while traveling. "Do not attempt to drive through a flooded area," he said. Relief from rain is expected the next three days as temperatures fall.
