Ada's latest news

Ohio Northern University’s T.J. Smull College of Engineering has been recognized as one of the nation’s top 50 undergraduate engineering programs in “Best Colleges 2015,” published by U.S. News & World Report.

The college ranks 41st among engineering schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s or master’s, marking the seventh time in eight years that U.S. News & World Report has listed ONU in its top-50 rankings. U.S. News ranks undergraduate engineering programs accredited by ABET (formerly known as Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).

Ohio Northern University student Shalom C. Arellano, a senior exercise physiology major from Garfield Heights, Ohio, has been selected to receive a UPS Scholarship provided through Foundation for Independent Higher Education (FIHE).

FIHE is a statewide association for private colleges and universities that is affiliated with the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC). At the national level, CIC teams up with the UPS Foundation to distribute funding of the UPS Scholarship. The Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges awarded $81,600 in UPS Scholarships to 34 low-income students at private institutions across Ohio.

By Torie Wright - Icon fall intern

I’d like to start my internship at the Ada Icon with an introduction: "Hi."

In more seriousness, my name is Torie and I’ve lived in Ada nearly my entire life. I was born on the west coast, in Washington State, but my parents and I moved to Ada (where my dad was born and raised) before I was a year old. My 22nd birthday is quickly approaching, and Ada is still my home. No matter where I end up, Ada will always be my home.

A lot has happened to me in this place: I became a big sister, I made lifelong friends, I had a baby. Those things, among the uncountable others, make it hard to leave.
