Ohio Northern University

 Ohio Northern University student Shawn Stevens, a junior music education major from Lima, Ohio, has been named a 2015 Presser Scholar Award recipient. As a Presser Scholar, Stevens will receive a $4,200 grant.

The award is given to students who show excellence in academics and a passion for music. In order to present the scholarship each year, the University must have at least 40 undergraduate music majors enrolled in the program. The recipient must have at least one-third of their credit hours in an area other than music.

Alumni from Ohio Northern University’s Raabe College of Pharmacy received five awards and several appointments during the 137th Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) Annual Conference and Trade Show in Columbus, Ohio, from April 17-19.

The Lima Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the Fourth of July with a “Patriotic Pops” concert on the campus of Ohio Northern University. The event is free and open to the public.

The concert will take place on the sculpture mall east of McIntosh Center between Presser and Weber Halls. This will be a fun filled family event exploding with patriotic music and a tribute to our armed services. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

Ohio Northern University is one of the nation’s best universities in terms of “value-added,” and fourth in the state of Ohio, according to a new report published by the Brookings Institution.

The report draws on government and private sources to analyze colleges and universities in terms of “the difference between actual alumni outcomes (like salaries) and the outcomes one would expect given a student’s characteristics and type of institution.” The study is designed to assess how well colleges and universities contribute to their graduates’ economic success.

Ohio Northern University celebrated ONU student leaders and their accomplishments during the President’s Leadership Dessert on April 29.

The DeBow Freed Awards for Outstanding Leadership as an Undergraduate Student were presented to one male and one female from each year on campus. Students are nominated for the award in recognition of their positive leadership in the campus community. They receive a monetary award, and their names are added to a plaque in McIntosh Center.

First-year awards went to Ashley Mast, a biology major from Apple Creek, Ohio, and Kenneth Barga, a pharmacy major from Burkettsville, Ohio.
