The Ohio Northern University Graphic Design Program hosted a poster design workshop on Oct. 21 focusing on the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

Service still at ONU's foundational pillars

Students live to serve others however they can, pandemic or not
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, October 18, 2020

FROM ONU WEBSITE - In a time where anything “normal” in higher education is scarce, Ohio Northern University is still clinging tightly to one of its foundational pillars of existence: service.

Whether it looks like traditional community service, or something outside the box, our students live to serve others however they can, pandemic or not.

Thus far, Ohio Northern has been able to successfully implement COVID-19 safety measures and minimize risk without sacrificing a real, in-person college experience, and service is a large part of that experience.

On average, approximately 1,500 students volunteer roughly 50,000 hours of community service in a given year.
