Ohio Northern University dedicated new state-of-the-art bleachers at Dial-Roberson Stadium on November 2, 2024. The bleachers, gifted by alumnus Ted Stambaugh, BS ’77, add nearly 500 seats to the stadium, more than doubling the capacity on the visitor side.
“We are extremely grateful for Ted Stambaugh’s generosity and support,” said ONU President Melissa Baumann, Ph.D. “Completing the visitor side seating takes Dial-Roberson stadium to the next level and will benefit generations of student athletes and fans.”

Ohio Northern University’s nursing program seeks to produce nurses who are effective caregivers and problem-solvers in the face of any challenge.
To that end, every fall semester the program collaborates with the broader community to stage a simulation of a drug overdose/potential sexual assault case for its senior nursing students.
If a scenario is unsettling or even shocking, it’s all the more reason to first encounter it in a safe learning environment versus under pressure while on the job, said Megan Lieb, associate professor of nursing.
“Our goal is to give our students a lot of different experiences in the tool kit to draw upon,” she explained.
Meet an Ohio Northern University’s centenarian. John O. Costine, a 1950 ONU Law graduate, turns 100 on October 16 and holds the record for being the longest continuously-practicing attorney in the state of Ohio.
In the small town of St. Clairsville, Ohio, Mr. Costine is a familiar figure, often seen walking to the courthouse in his fedora to deliver papers. A community icon, he’s known for his quiet servitude and incredible work ethic.
“My tenure is 71 years in the legal profession, the same length of time that Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in England,” he said.
Mr. Costine doesn’t have a secret to longevity. “I just keep on going, keep on breathing, and that seems to be the technique that works.” ▶︎

The public is invited to a special viewing of a bright comet.. This event begins a little earlier than usual in order to catch the comet before it sets in the west.
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) should have a total magnitude brighter than Polaris, but its light is spread out over a nucleus, coma and long tail which extends about 8 degrees, so it may be difficult to find without help.
