Ohio Northern University

Ohio Northern University will host a multitude of camps during summer 2016, each devoted to academics, music or athletics.

ONU will host its 12th Summer Academic and Honors Institute for gifted high school students in three sessions: June 12-17, June 19-24 and July 17-22. This year’s institute includes 21 weeklong academic camps that provide great ways to investigate potential career choices or college majors.

Ohio Northern University student Taylor Lewis, a fourth-year pharmacy major from Cincinnati, Ohio, has been appointed to the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Student Leadership Council (SLC) for a two-year term.

Ohio Northern University’s 2016 Kritzler Lecture will be delivered by James K. McCusker, professor of chemistry and director of the Center of Research Excellence in Complex Materials at Michigan State University, in the Dicke Forum on Thursday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m.

The topic of McCusker’s lecture will be “An Inorganic Chemist in ExxonMobil’s Court: The Role of Fundamental Science in Our Energy Future.”

Ohio Northern University’s Raabe College of Pharmacy, in partnership with the Ohio Pharmacy Resident Conference, has announced the creation of the Toby Clark Resident Research Award, which will be awarded annually during the Ohio Pharmacy Resident Conference to a resident demonstrating excellence in pharmacy practice research. The recipient will receive a plaque at the Ohio Pharmacy Resident Conference and will have their name and year inscribed on an award to be displayed inside ONU’s College of Pharmacy.
