Ohio Northern University is registering organizations, businesses, and residents for its fifth annual Ada Community Engagement (ACE) Day to be held on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to noon., according to Jennifer Lambdin, director of student imvolvement at ONU.
A partnership with the village of Ada, the ACE Day program provides opportunities for ONU’s first-year students to not only engage with the community but also contribute to the village’s beautification.
ACE Day, is a university tradition held on the Saturday of Welcome Weekend. It provides an opportunity for incoming freshmen to serve the Ada community, their new home for the next four, five or six years.
Projects include a variety of tasks, such as painting, gardening, washing fire trucks and more.
In 2015, 280 students and 43 faculty and staff members participated.
An “ACE site” is any community organization, business, or individual with a need and willingness to provide a service project for ONU students.
The types of projects could range from painting, landscaping, cleaning, washing vehicles, decorating and cooking. ACE sites are responsible for providing all materials, tools and instructions, as well as supervision at the project.
Registration forms will be accepted through Aug. 5. Registration forms and additional information can be found at www.onu.edu/aceday. For more details contact Lambdin at [email protected] or (401)772-2400.
