What would you like on your pizza? How about apples, marshmallows, chocolate, Oreo cream, or just loaded with candy? Ada third grade art students created pizzas this month that adorn the hallway near the art room. The project's purpose was to show texture - not to mention imagination.

In 2015, Dusty Donley decided to make a giant career leap. The 1996 Ada High School graduate began the process that would take him from the typically male world of the local hardware store, to teaching 7-year-old girls how to add, subtract and not irritate each other!
Donley worked at Keith’s Hardware Store, Ada, while earning a bachelor’s degree in communication from Ohio Northern University. He wanted to stay in the area, so when the store offered him the manager’s position after his graduation in 2000, he accepted.
“That position lasted more than 20 years,” he said.
Ohio Northern University has created a taskforce to address issues around the COVID-19 crisis that could impact the on-going operations of the university, according to Amy Prigge, executive director of the office of communications and marketing.
The taskforce is meeting and planning for the unlikely event of a local outbreak of COVID-19. The taskforce includes several members of the president’s cabinet, and leaders of operational units across campus.
ONU has also created a website for information and updates for the campus community concerning COVID-19 and campus safety,
