Singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in an empty NFL stadium in 2020 was still a dream. This time around, Ohio Northern University’s V.P. for Student Affairs Adriane Thomson Bradshaw, Ph.D., will be belting out the same patriotic number in the same place, but to a packed house for the Cleveland Browns’ home opener this Sunday, Sept. 19. The team will take on the Texans at 1 p.m. EST.
Thompson-Bradshaw, a Cleveland native, is known for her musical acumen, which she honed as a child during church services and has continued to cultivate over the years. In 1987, she formed ONU’s Gospel Ensemble. She calls singing “one of the passions of my life.”
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are the focus of the Fall 2021 semester’s first Critical Questions, a series developed by student Fellows at Ohio Northern University’s Institute for Civics and Public Policy (ICAPP) that explores a wide range of relevant and timely topics commanding the public’s attention. The series’ purpose is to offer unbiased research and facts about emerging issues for people to consider.
Ohio Northern University will commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks with two events.
A special gathering will be held in the Walter and Marian English Chapel Garden at 8:46 a.m. on Saturday, September 11, 2021. Participants are asked to arrive by 8:40 a.m.
Also, the ONU Veterans Organization will be hosting a stair climb from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Dial-Roberson Stadium to honor first responders and all who lost their lives in the terror attacks.
Ohio Northern President Daniel DiBiasio encouraged the campus community to take part in the memorial events.
Ohio Northern University invites you to "be our guest" as they present the Freed Center for the Performing Arts' 30-year anniversary season and celebrate ONU's sesquicentennial. They are excited to celebrate these milestones with a mix of programming that includes some of the first theatre productions to be performed in the Freed Center and some favorites from over the years:
A new partnership with Brink Literacy Project, a nonprofit publishing organization, will offer Ohio Northern University students myriad opportunities for learning about and working within the publishing industry.
The Scotland and Denver, Colorado-based group champions literacy worldwide and provides platforms for exceptional storytelling “to positively affect the lives of people on the brink,” particularly those from underserved communities, its website states. For ONU students, it will offer a shot at paid internships within its organization along with other resources for learning about the complicated but captivating publishing world.
For some, a $145 investment in their potential could literally mean the world. That's what Ohio Northern University is counting on for 25 first-year students who will receive scholarships this coming academic year to apply towards their U.S. passport application process for study-abroad experiences.
