Ohio Northern University

Ohio Northern University will host a showcase featuring graduating students in creative writing: Elizabeth Dornbusch, Abby Gillam, Magnus Singer, and Laura Youngblood.

The four students will read from their own work, sharing poetry, short fiction, and selections from other genres. 

The reading will be preceded by a reception and followed by a Q & A session. The event is free and open to the public.

The Kent State Guardsmen Oral History Project, an award-winning endeavor that recently received grant funding, is continuing to seek former guardsmen who deployed to Kent in May 1970 when the shootings occurred.

“These men were castigated and vilified in the aftermath, and so understandably, they didn’t talk about it publicly,” says David Strittmatter, Ph.D., Ohio Northern University assistant professor of history and project organizer. “Time has a healing effect. We’re wanting to know: How has this followed you? How has it affected your life, if at all?”
