On Saturday, Aug. 15, at 10 p.m., CNN is set to air a new documentary titled “Count on Controversy: Inside the Electoral College,” with Dr. Robert Alexander, professor of political science and director of the ONU Institute for Civics and Public Policy, making an appearance as an expert on the Electoral College.
Alexander is one of the country’s leading authorities on the Electoral College.
He has written two books on the subject: 2019’s “Representation and the Electoral College” and 2012’s “Presidential Electors and the Electoral College: An Examination of Lobbying, Wavering Electors and Campaigns for Faithless Votes.”
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and health concerns, “The ONU Holiday Spectacular” has been canceled for 2020.
Although this decision is regrettable, it is also the only reasonable choice in the current environment, especially in regards to protecting the health of the many performers and others involved in this production, including Ohio Northern students as well as other members of the university and area communities, in addition to guests and theater staff members.
Plans are to again host the extravaganza in 2021 and beyond.
The fully staged musical revue ushers in the holiday season and has become a holiday tradition for countless individuals.

Representatives of approximately 120 student groups are expected to participate in a Welcome Fest.
The traditional activity introduces new students to opportunities on campus and helps new students in the transition to college life.
