December 2016

Ohio Northern University continues to fulfill its mission of preparing students for rewarding careers and lives of purpose, as indicated by the placement rates for the most recent graduating class.

According to the University’s Office of Polar Careers, 94 percent of students who graduated in 2016 have found employment or are enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduation.

This number is consistent with recent years, with 93 percent of graduates finding work in 2015 and 95 percent of graduates the year before. In all, 98 percent of the graduates of the class of 2016 reported on their status this year.

FROM THE ADA BULLDOG FACEBOOK - There are some very festival doors on Ada elementary school classrooms this month. 

You’ll find a door decorated in a chimney-fireplace theme, let it snow, a Christmas tree, gifts wrapped, reindeers on the house tops, a singing reindeer, gingerbread men and women and even a Grinch.

Oh, and there’s an interesting custodian decoration that speaks for itself.

1st – Mrs. Tabor, second grade
2nd – Mrs. Etgen, first grade
3rd – Mrs. Salyer, fourth grade
