FROM THE ONU WEBSITE - When international student Kai Kawaguchi first learned he was going to study in the United States, he knew he had to make it to a Major League Baseball game.
But he never dreamed he would snag a home run ball with his own two hands.
Thanks to Ohio Northern – and a little bit of luck – that’s precisely what happened.
The Ohio Northern University HealthWise program recently received a $8,500 grant from the Buckeye Health Plan that will expand the program’s services, specifically targeting the area’s pediatric population.
This grant will assist ONU HealthWise in its efforts to expand its offerings from the traditional adult audience to the pediatric population, largely through health screenings and educational programs.
This project provides a focus on health from two different directions. The first is prevention, which will be executed by educating school children about healthy lifestyles, healthy choices and a life predicated on wellness.
Sergio Campos will discuss “The Commonality of Causation” at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, in the Ohio Northern University College of Law’s large moot court room (room 129). The talk, which is the inaugural Goldman Lecture, is free and open to the public.
Campos is a professor of law at the University of Miami School of Law. Previously, he was the Charles Hamilton Houston Fellow at Harvard Law School and worked in private practice. His research interests include civil procedure, federal courts and remedies. Campos has published articles in several publications and has given numerous presentations.
Ohio Northern University alumni Matt Brown and Megan Keller are the latest recipients to have received the William L. Robinson Young Alumni Award from their alma mater.
The award was established by the ONU Alumni Association to honor individuals who have graduated from the University within the last 15 years and who demonstrate passion and loyalty toward their profession, community and alma mater.
Brown and Keller were recognized during ceremonies prior to ONU’s Homecoming football game on Oct. 5. Bill Robinson and ONU President Daniel DiBiasio presented the awards.
Area teachers will learn how to best integrate engineering design activities in their classrooms during a workshop on Thursday, Oct. 10, in the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building (room 203) at Ohio Northern University.
The workshop will include teachers from Hardin Northern, Perrysburg, Bath, Donnell, Ottawa-Glandorf and Leipsic school districts. The teachers instruct students in grades 5 through 12.
