Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy Dean Steve Martin, Pharm.D., recently received the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), a leadership group that collaboratively focuses on critical care practice, education and research. The award annually recognizes a society member for their consistent and sustained leadership and contribution to the group’s Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacology (CPP) Section, which focuses on optimal pharmacotherapeutic outcomes for all critically ill patients.

Institute for Civics and Public Policy (ICAPP) at Ohio Northern University fellows Kennedy Aikey and Hailey Trimpey recently examined the growing use of service dogs in society. Trimpey is a student volunteer who works to train service dogs at Ohio Northern. It is not uncommon to find many students who are serving as trainers on ONU’s campus. The student authors find that the development of new skills and training has allowed for these four-legged friends to become a lifeline for many more people in need.
