Ohio Northern University will host a panel discussion concerning the Netflix documentary series “Making a Murderer” in the McIntosh Activities Room on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m.

A five-person panel of ONU professors will address student questions about specific events, actions and themes portrayed in the show, and compare them with industry best practices and scientific research. The panel’s goal is not to retry Steven Avery’s case or decide guilt or innocence, but to objectively examine elements of the case presented by the filmmakers.

No matter what interests an ONU student has, there are probably clubs and organizations for then...even fencing.

Northern has 240 clubs and organizations for professional, social, or just plain fun activities.

The Fencing Club organized a few years ago and is now at the point of scheduling bouts with students from other campuses beginning next year.

The club provides the equipment, but some students buy their own. The group meets three evenings a week to practice foil, saber and epee fencing.
