Five free public events at the ONU Observatory will be hosted during the Spring 2026 semester. Dr. Jason Pinkney posts information about the events at https://jpastro.net/astro/publicevents.html

The first event is coming up on Friday, February 13. It is called "Jupiter Divides the Twins", referring to the way the planet Jupiter will be in the middle of the constellation Gemini.  Guests will be looking at Jupiter and its moons, as well as other celestial objects.

What kind of impact can you make when you're surrounded by cornfields? That is the question I asked myself when I first considered journalism at Ohio Northern University. A combination of my personal experiences and a genuine interest in rural journalism inspired me to explore the heart of student media at Ohio Northern. I sat down with seasoned journalists and emerging student talent to hear why they believe student journalism has value at a small university.

Student Voices at a Small University: The Story of Northern Review

FROM ONU.EDU/NEWS__Dr. Bryan Lutz teaches students in his first-year Writing Seminar at Ohio Northern University a skill just as vital as grammar and syntax: how to be a critical consumer of media.

Whether you call it misinformation, disinformation, or “fake news,” much of the content flooding online spaces lacks even a shred of journalistic integrity, said Lutz, associate professor of rhetoric and composition.

During the Fall 2025 semester, the Northern Review--the student-run media outlet--launched the following podcasts, offering discussions on culture, movies and coming to Ada from abroad.

BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Why is it important to talk about culture? How does culture shape us? Host Riley Mason leads the conversation with faculty from Ohio Northern University as they divulge how their cultural identity informs them professionally and personally. Together, they prove that the uncomfortable conversations are certainly worth having.

The following students from the 45810 area code have been recognized on the Ohio Northern University Dean's List for Fall 2025. A student who attains a 3.50 or better average on 12 or more graded hours (A, B, C, D, F) for a term is placed on the Dean's list. Special, transient, or post-graduate students are not included.

Remembered for environmental studies research
