Alumni, faculty and students from the Raabe College of Pharmacy at Ohio Northern University received numerous awards and honors during the 134rd Ohio Pharmacists Association (OPA) Annual Conference and Trade Show in Columbus, Ohio, from April 20-22.
Today we took the entire group to a barrio clinic in a community called Las Carerras de Sosa. All of the students –- engineering, nursing, everyone – went along.
I had a great time sharing a bit about the Dominican people and culture.
Eleven Ohio Northern pharmacy students attended the 2012 National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Conference on National Legislation and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C., from May 7-10.
The ONU students met with key members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as government officials and political insiders, to share their views on targeted community pharmacy issues. The ONU contingent visited with both of Ohio's senators, Sherrod Brown and Ron Portman, to discuss proposed pharmacy legislation. Students also were able to meet individually with their congressional representatives or staff.
The Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN), a collection of 20 colleges and universities that includes Ohio Northern University, was awarded an Edison Gold Medal in the category of Collaborative Networks and Support on Thursday, April 26. The award was announced during the Edison Awards’ 25th anniversary celebration in New York City.
I am in the Dominican Republic for my fourth visit.
We had a bit of a challenge getting here Friday – a mechanical issue with the plane delayed us for five hours – but we received a $100 voucher toward future travel and $6 to buy lunch so not a bad deal. And given that there was a huge tropical depression sitting over the Dominican Republic and a lot of rain, we didn't miss much. No real beach-time was sacrificed!
The Washington Center (TWC) for Internships and Academic Programs, an organization that provides college students with the opportunity to work and learn in the nation’s capital, has named Ohio Northern University as its Private University of the Year.
