ONU administrator to sing national anthem at Cleveland Browns game

Singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in an empty NFL stadium in 2020 was still a dream. This time around, Ohio Northern University’s V.P. for Student Affairs Adriane Thomson Bradshaw, Ph.D., will be belting out the same patriotic number in the same place, but to a packed house for the Cleveland Browns’ home opener this Sunday, Sept. 19. The team will take on the Texans at 1 p.m. EST.

Thompson-Bradshaw, a Cleveland native, is known for her musical acumen, which she honed as a child during church services and has continued to cultivate over the years. In 1987, she formed ONU’s Gospel Ensemble. She calls singing “one of the passions of my life.”
