Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, April 5, 2023

Ohio Northern University will celebrate the inauguration of its 12th president, Melissa J. Baumann, Ph.D., during an investiture ceremony to be held at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, in King-Horn Sport Center’s field house. The public is invited to view this private campus event via livestream on the University’s website at www.onu.edu.

A week-long inaugural celebration will also include other events for the campus community, such as a “Women in Leadership Panel,” a chapel address from Bishop Gregory V. Palmer and an Alumni Service Day. April 12 will also include ONU’s Founder’s Day Celebration, an annual day of giving that assists ONU’s students by advancing scholarship, research, the arts, athletics, and more.

The inauguration formalizes President Baumann’s Ohio Northern journey that commenced in July 2022, when she succeeded retiring President Daniel DiBiasio. Since arriving to campus, President Baumann has directed intensive campus-wide endeavors intended to maintain the University’s strong academic offerings while flexibly positioning it for future exceptionalism. ONU’s five-year, student-focused Stronger Together Strategic Plan represents the institution’s “north star” moving forward. A campus master plan is also being developed that will embrace a transformative structural vision to best serve students’ evolving educational and extracurricular needs.
