Ohio Northern University

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.

Ohio Northern University has been ranked No. 2 among Midwest regional colleges in “Best Colleges 2015,” which is published annually by U.S. News & World Report.

Ohio Northern has appeared in the top 10 of the publication’s Regional College Midwest Rankings for the past 23 years and in the top five for the past 10 out of 11 years.

Ohio Northern University has announced the establishment of the Buster Rozier Jr. Nursing Incentive Scholarship for Minority Students Endowed Fund.

The scholarship, totaling approximately $30,000, will financially assist minority students pursuing nursing degrees at ONU. The scholarship was created thanks to the generosity of retired ONU professor Dr. Patricia Freeman and the support of Rozier's son Steven Washington.

Freeman said, “This is also a tribute to the wonderful nurses who cared for Buster when he was a patient at Lima Memorial Health System, St. Rita’s Medical Center and Kindred Hospital.”

Ohio Northern overcame a nightmarish start and an early 17-0 deficit to defeat Washington (Mo.) 31-24 in the 2014 season opener on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Francis Field.

The Polar Bears (1-0 overall) rolled up 492 yards of total offense and held the ball for more than 35 minutes after struggling mightily in the first 17 minutes of the game.

Junior tailback Justin Magazine rushed 28 times for a career-high 154 yards and a score and junior receiver/kick returner Devon Price caught eight passes for 130 yards and a TD and finished with 220 all-purpose yards to lead the Polar Bear offense.

 Ohio Northern University is once again featured as one of the nation’s top schools in The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, “The Best 379 Colleges: 2015 Edition.” ONU also is one of the 158 institutions that The Princeton Review recommends in the “Best of the Midwest” section of its website feature, “2015 Best Colleges by Region.”

“We are pleased that this student survey again places ONU among the best universities in the country,” said Daniel A. DiBiasio, Ohio Northern University president. “This is reflective of the quality of our programs and personnel and the appreciation our students have for excellence.”

The Ohio Northern University gallery program opens its 2013-14 art exhibition and gallery season at the Elzay Gallery of Art with “I Dream of All Things: Photographs by Emily Jay.” The exhibit runs from Sept. 2 to Oct. 10.

Jay’s exhibit explores the relationship between promise, breaking and beauty. It is a photographic exploration of slipping into and out of dreams, as they come to be and as they come to fall apart. Jay’s latest work uses painting, photography and installation as she attempts to catalog remnants of aesthetic experience encountered in the mundane.
