Ada's latest news

"The best 172 law schools"

The Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law is among the nation’s most outstanding law schools, according to The Princeton Review. The ONU College of Law is included in the 2017 edition of The Princeton Review’s annual feature, “The Best 172 Law Schools.”

The rankings are based largely on the responses of students who attend the colleges of law and how they rate their law college experience as well as data collected from colleges of law nationwide.

Student-led debate Tuesday, Oct. 25

Ohio Northern University will host several events this fall to encourage students to become more involved in the presidential election as informed voters. The efforts are part of the nationwide Voter Friendly Campus initiative, which strives to encourage student registration and voting, especially in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

The endeavor is led by national groups Campus Vote Project and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. The project seeks to help students overcome barriers to participating in the political process and involves approximately 1 million students at around 80 campuses.
