Ohio Northern University

Two Ohio Northern University civil engineering students were each awarded a $500 scholarship from the Toledo Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) on Monday, Nov. 5.

Sarah Massella, a senior from Bridgeport, Pa., and Katherine Bowman, a junior from Richfield, Ohio, were the recipients of the award. The two students are members of the ONU chapter of the ASCE.

ASCE’s Honors and Awards program recognizes the commendable achievements and remarkable accomplishments of the civil engineering profession. With more than 80 awards, the program distinguishes the unique contributions engineers make to both the industry and society.

Graduates of the Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law continued their record of outstanding achievement on the Ohio bar examination with a passage rate of 89 percent, which ranks second among students from all Ohio law schools who took the examination in 2012 and highest among all private Ohio law schools.

ONU’s passage rate was well above the overall passage rate of 80.8 percent.

In addition, 91 percent of Ohio Northern’s graduates who were taking the test for the first time passed the test, which is higher than the overall first-time passage rate of 85 percent statewide.
