ONU political science professor says the pro's can't even believe what they're seeing

From the ONU website
Dr. Robert Alexander has never seen anything like this. He’s never seen anything even close to this.

The professor of political science and chair of the Department of History, Politics and Justice, Alexander does more than follow political elections; he’s a leading authority on presidential elections and the Electoral College.

So, if the race for the White House 2016 has you shaking your head, don’t worry. Even the pros can’t believe what they’re seeing.

For Alexander, there are two aspects to the 2016 presidential election that he finds fascinatingly bizarre:

Comtemporary play Oct. 27-30 at ONU

The Ohio Northern University Department of Theatre Arts will present “The Shape of Things,” a classic contemporary play by Neil LaBute, Oct. 27 through Oct. 30 in the Stambaugh Studio Theatre in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.

A pre-show discussion of the play will take place at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27, followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. Other performances will be 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 28, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 29, and 2 p.m. on Oct. 30.

The ONU Symphony Orchestra concert on Saturday night, Oct. 15, at Freed Center will begin at 8:15  p.m.instead of 7:30 p.m., due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, according to Dr. Becky Casey.

She said, "The Music Department would like to extend the offer of one free beverage, for all Symphony Orchestra concert-goers at the ONU Inn prior to the concert, from 7:15 to 8 p.m. that evening.

Reflects their zeal for connecting with students on the learners’ terms

After six years and 1,185 bottles of Diet Dr Pepper, Ohio Northern University professors of biological science Rod Anderson and Linda Young have completed a textbook that reflects their zeal for connecting with students on the learners’ terms.

“Visualizing Microbiology,” published by Wiley, was released in mid-September. The text is available in both hard copy and digital formats and is intended for use in college courses by students pursuing health care academic majors and careers.
