Author Laura M. Hartman will discuss the ethics of Christian consumerism during a discussion, “What would Jesus buy?” at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 in the forum of James F. Dicke Hall at Ohio Northern University. The event is free and open to the public.
“The general question of what we consume is important to everyone, and there are certain moral and ethical considerations that especially connect the question to Christian values,” said Forrest Clingerman, associate professor of philosophy and religion at ONU. “When purchasing an item, is it really going to help me love my neighbor?”

Dr. Robert Alexander has never seen anything like this. He’s never seen anything even close to this.
The professor of political science and chair of the Department of History, Politics and Justice, Alexander does more than follow political elections; he’s a leading authority on presidential elections and the Electoral College.
So, if the race for the White House 2016 has you shaking your head, don’t worry. Even the pros can’t believe what they’re seeing.
For Alexander, there are two aspects to the 2016 presidential election that he finds fascinatingly bizarre:
The Ohio Northern University Department of Theatre Arts will present “The Shape of Things,” a classic contemporary play by Neil LaBute, Oct. 27 through Oct. 30 in the Stambaugh Studio Theatre in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
A pre-show discussion of the play will take place at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27, followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. Other performances will be 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 28, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 29, and 2 p.m. on Oct. 30.
The ONU Symphony Orchestra concert on Saturday night, Oct. 15, at Freed Center will begin at 8:15 p.m.instead of 7:30 p.m., due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, according to Dr. Becky Casey.
She said, "The Music Department would like to extend the offer of one free beverage, for all Symphony Orchestra concert-goers at the ONU Inn prior to the concert, from 7:15 to 8 p.m. that evening.
“Polar Bear State of Mind” will be the theme for Ohio Northern University Homecoming events Oct. 21-23. The annual occasion offers an opportunity for former students to return to campus and connect with their alma mater. A series of events is planned to capture the spirit of ONU.
