The DiBiasio Athletics Complex supports baseball, football, lacrosse, track and field, soccer, softball and tennis.
This past weekend, May 14 and 15, 2022, Ohio Northern University held three commencement ceremonies for students being awarded with undergraduate, MSA, Law, and Pharmacy degrees.

With the last day of final exams on May 13 and commencement ceremonies on May 14, Ohio Northern University is wrapping up Spring semester 2022. Two seniors have been revealed as having worn the big white suit.
Being the Ohio Northern University mascot, Klondike, is such a closely guarded secret that not even the portrayer’s closest friends and family know the truth. A student Klondike is only allowed to reveal themselves upon graduating, so with Commencement right around the corner, we thought we’d help these students step out of the suit one final time and reveal themselves to some of their closest friends.
