What's on your 2023 calendar?

The January breakfast meeting of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, held at the Ada Public Library, serves as a good preview of coming attractions in 2023 for the organization and the community.

Chamber president Becky Neville and director Lindsay Walden Hollar introduced themselves (as did all of those in attendance) and reviewed the chamber events scheduled for the year. Sprinkled into the calendar were events hosted by other organizations. Hollar commented, “My calendar is already full. The sooner we get the word out, the better.”

Ohio Northern University has announced that President Emeritus Daniel A. DiBiasio, Ph.D. (Hon.D. ‘22), and former First Lady Chris Burns-DiBiasio (Hon. ’22) have established an endowed scholarship for ONU students who intend to pursue teaching careers.

With the Daniel A. DiBiasio and Chris Burns-DiBiasio Endowed Scholarship, the couple honor the value of teaching excellence, the tradition of educators in their families, and their shared dedication to transforming lives through higher education.

"Chris and I are excited about being able to provide much-needed financial support to students who are committed to entering such an admirable and essential profession," says DiBiasio. "There are few careers that are more important than teaching."

“Ohio Northern University, particularly its students, will always be near and dear to our hearts,” says Burns-DiBiasio. “Given that education has always been a huge part of our lives, establishing an endowed scholarship that will further encourage already-outstanding individuals to be caring and innovative leaders in the education field is a dream come true.”
