Ohio Northern University student Eric Eisenmann, a fifth-year pharmacy and recent 2015 ONU graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Broadview Heights, Ohio, was selected to receive a 2015-16 fall graduate research grant from Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology, for $1,500.
The Ohio Northern University chapter of the Society for Collegiate Journalists (SJC) has received the Outstanding New Chapter Award from the National Office of SCJ. In order to be considered for this award, a chapter must be reactivated or chartered for two to six years and be recognized as a new and energetic member of the SCJ family.
“I am very moved that the Society chose us for this honor,” said Shane Tilton, chapter advisor and assistant professor of multimedia journalism.
Virtual reality is a valuable tool for simulating environments as NASA astronauts prepare for space missions. They also train underwater to get a feel for what it’s like to be in space.
Two Embry-Riddle students are looking to merge those worlds.
One of the students is Matt Meyers, a 2011 Ada High School graduate.
Human Factors students Nathan Sonnenfeld and Meyers have used a 3-D printer in the Game-based Education & Advanced Research Simulations (GEARS) Lab to make a plastic headset that uses wireless technology to create virtual environments, similar to Oculus Rift goggles.
