Several Ohio Northern University faculty are involved in projects completed this spring or are on-going this summer. Those projects follow:

Melissa Kidder, assistant professor of law and director of legal clinics and externships, and her research assistant, third-year law student Amanda Olson, teamed up analyze ONU's transition to online learning. 

The project, “5 Small Ways Students Stayed Engaged in Online Learning,” was accepted as a session proposal by CALIcon2020: Law School In the Time of Pandemic, and it was made available on June 5 as an audio presentation.

College of Pharmacy faculty member Natalie Di Pietro, professor of pharmacy practice, co-authored an award-winning poster at the 2020 APhA-APPM virtual annual conference. “Retrospective Evaluation of Preconception Care Intervention Opportunities in a Chain Community Pharmacy Setting” was recognized as a 2020 APhA-APPM Presentation Merit Award Winner.

The research involved a retrospective analysis of potentially teratogenic medication use by reproductive-age women. The poster is available to view online and will be published in the July/August issue of JAPhA, the journal of the American Pharmacists Association.

Dallan F. Flake, associate professor of law at Ohio Northern University, wrote the recently published article "Using Religion to Protect Transgender Employees from Discrimination" for the Illinois Law Review. 

The article examines whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 extends to transgender employees by analogizing transgenderism to religious conversion.
