Welcome to the Ada Icon's "Ada Teacher Feature." Here we share thoughts and insights from local teachers who lift up and inspire our students.

Let us lift up and inspire these educators as well. Today we meet Kristie Steiner, art teacher. It was Georgia O'Keefe who said, "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

Kristie is helping our students learn to express themselves and find what interests them, too.

It finally snowed.

Monty Siekerman and Ken Collins took advantage of the white stuff. They took their cameras outdoors and fired away, in what we hope is winter's last gasp.

Enjoy the views.

Dr. Tom Gossel returned to the ONU campus last week to speak to students about the profession of pharmacy and his career experiences.

Dr. Gossel told students that he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do after high school, but through the direction and kindness of several people, he discovered ONU and pharmacy – it was a perfect pairing.

After graduating from Ohio Northern in 1963, he went on to become a professor, and eventually Dean at the Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy.
