Last week the Ada Rotary Club met for breakfast rather than lunch to host Dr. Karen Warkentin of Boston University.
Dr. Warkentin delivered the 2022 Terry Keiser Distinguished Lectureship in the Life Sciences at Ohio Northern University on Oct. 25 and spent time with students, faculty and others in Ada during the rest of the week.
The club has hosted the Keiser lecturer and friends of Rotary at a breakfast each year thanks to the generosity of the ONU biology department and the Keiser Lectureship.
The following students in grades 4-12 have been recognized by the Ada Schools for outstanding academic achievement during the first nine weeks of this school year.
