Jazz culture is blooming at Ohio Northern University thanks to weekly jam sessions that expand learning opportunities for students in settings that extend beyond the classroom.

At ONU, jam sessions are run by Gene Parker, adjunct professor of jazz at Ohio Northern. “Many universities have jam sessions,” he said.
