More than 150 students are expected to participate in the third annual “Love Where You Live Day” on-campus community service event from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29.
The students will be involved in activities such as cleaning, landscaping and painting.
The event, which is coordinated by ONU’s Office of Residence Life, is designed to help foster a sense of community service as part of the Ohio Northern educational experience. It is also intended to help them feel a deeper connection go their college home.
It also serves to kick off “Spirit Week,” leading up to homecoming weekend Oct. 4 through Oct. 6.
The Ohio Northern University Department of Theatre Arts will present a lecture demonstration, “Dancing History,” at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
Guest artist and dance historian Thomas Baird has been on campus working with ONU students to develop historical dance techniques. Audiences can expect to witness changes of period dance styles, dress and music.
Tickets are $10 for adults and seniors and $5 for students and children. To order, visit freedcenter.comor call the box office at 419-772-1900.
