Ohio Northern University has been recognized by www.CollegesofDistinction.com for the 2023-2024 academic year. Colleges of Distinction is a resource guide and consortium that honors colleges and universities throughout the United States for educational excellence.

Colleges of Distinction’s selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to the "Four Distinctions": engaged students, great teaching, vibrant community, and successful outcomes.

To be named a College of Distinction, ONU demonstrated excellence in undergraduate education in such factors as student engagement, teaching excellence, outcomes-based learning, and community involvement. This evaluation process differs from those of popular college rankings publications, whose formulas grade institutions based on things like faculty salaries, endowment size and peer opinion.

Getting interested in April 8 solar eclipse viewing opportunities or ways to provide services for those who will travel to the area?

The Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance is working to compile a list of viewing locations that will be open to the public for eclipse viewing on April 8.

Anywhere with paved or gravel parking and open skies could be a good viewing location. You may choose to allow free parking, or charge a fee. You may be able to provide additional amenities, or not.

Locations can be added to the HCCBA website at www.hccba.com/eclipse

Ideas for viewing locations: Rural church parking lots, township halls, event venues, parks & outdoor athletic facilities, etc.

Help visitors to Hardin County know where they are allowed to park and view the eclipse, and what opportunities and events are available.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released their song Fishin’ in the Dark on June 7, 1987 and it hit number one on the country charts both in the United States and Canada.  The American country rock band started in 1966 in Long Beach, California. Several artists covered the song written by Wendy Waldman and Jim Photogio. Kenny Chesney released a cover of the song with the title You and Me Go Fishing in the Dark. After Garth Brooks recorded his cover version in 2005, the number of downloads of the original song certified it as platinum.  

For those who know the lyrics, you realized the song is not really about fishing or even counting the stars at night.  It is too bad they were not fishing because the science about the benefits of fish in your diet is advancing.
