These GEMS mean Girls in Engineering, Math and Science

Once upon a time these were "boys only" careers

Sixty-six 7th and 8th grade girls came to ONU earlier this month for the College of Engineer's 22nd Camp GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math and Science).

The camp's focus is about careers in engineering, math and science. Activities in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, forensic science, mathematics, nursing, pharmacy and physics took place.

There was also an electrical safety demo by Dayton Power and Light, a motivational speaker, a talk on the upcoming eclipse and a session aboutt eye health and how to become an eye doctor.

Lake Nieheiser photos by Ken Collins

Ken Collins took these photos at Lake Nieheiser (Fraternity Circle) on campus. About the first photo, he writes, "Keeping the geese in a row.  All followed the leader into the lake, out again, then back in again.  Fun to watch."

The second two photos remind one of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Peaceful scene of lily pads and a dragonfly. Ken says, "They remind me of a watercolor painting."

Ohio Northern was once again the destination for about 300 riders participating in the 15th annual Young's Ice Cream Charity Bike Tour.  The tour has raised more than $1 million during the past 14 years for various charities. 

The two-day event began Saturday morning in Yellow Springs with an overnight at ONU's Affinity Village, then a return ride to Yellow Springs set for Sunday.  The round trip is 165 miles--good exercise for a good purpose.
