From ONU law Facebook - A group of Ohio Northern Univerity law students traveled to Iceland during spring break as part of our Icelandic Legal Exchange Program, a partnership that has been in place for more than 50 years.
This year the students met with Steindor Jensen, LLM ‘13, who is now the secretary of the Icelandic parliamentary committee concerning finance.
Since graduating from the LLM program and returning to Iceland, Jensen has met with ONU visitors many times.
The annual trip provides ONU Law students an introduction to not only the Icelandic legal system, but also the rich Icelandic culture.

Dedication of the statue will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 17. The statue commemorates the visit of Dr. King who spoke in Taft 50 years ago. Taft was the university’s gymnasium in 1968. The statue will be surrounded by a garden area. Dr. King gave one of his last speeches on a college campus at ONU in Ada. He was assassinated 84 days later in Memphis.

A rail study is underway to explore re-routing Ada's through-town railroad tracks to bypass the village.
If successful, the current railroad tracks that pass through Ada would be removed and replaced with two possible alternatives. A spur would still connect the elevator on the west side of Ada to the mainline, but it would not cross Main Street.
Southern alternative – this plan would create a new rail route (bypass) from the west at approximately Township Road 25. It could loop as far south as State Route 309 and then reconnect with the line on the east side of Ada near Township Road 65.
