Ada's latest news

Great-grandson of ONU founder Henry Solomon Lehr

Ohio Northern University’s pioneering heritage, enterprising spirit and promising future converge with the naming of the University’s newest building: the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building.

The first classes are scheduled be held in fall 2019 in this innovative facility, which is currently under construction.

The naming of the building honors Kennedy’s service and contributions to ONU. Beyond serving the University as a member of its Board of Trustees, he has made an irrevocable estate pledge gift of $10 million to Ohio Northern.
