Understanding the evolution of service dogs

ICAPP article and podcast

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.

Don’t reinvent the wheel

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Don’t reinvent the wheel is a common idiom meaning do not duplicate efforts to create something when a basic method has already been created or optimized to improve the outcome.  A young Anthony J. D’Angelo was quoted as saying “don’t reinvent the wheel, just realign it.” At the age of 23, Tony D’Angelo in 1995 decided to challenge the mindset of higher education. He felt that colleges were handing out degrees but not really educating young adults to function in the world. Based on his own educational experience in college, he felt as if he learned more about life from his activities and involvement than from his courses.
