Administration says that it could not have completed a successful fall semester without Karen Schroeder, RN, health center director and her team

FROM ONU FACEBOOK - The administration of Ohio Northern University says that it could not have completed a successful fall semester without Karen Schroeder, RN, health center director and her team.

For the ONU Health Center staff, keeping students safe is the expectation. And pandemic or not, they know that it always will be.

Faced with an unparalleled increase to her job’s degree of difficulty, Health Center Director Karen Schroeder, RN, set out to learn everything she could about COVID.

Being a new virus, the information available to her changed from day to day as doctors and scientists learned more.

FROM ONU FACEBOOK - One of Ohio Northern University’s defining traits has always been its close-knit, family atmosphere.
