Ohio Northern University Dicke College of Business Administration student Courtney Horstman, a senior accounting major from Delphos, Ohio, was awarded the 2015-16 Ritchie-Jennings Memorial Scholarship by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE).
Wednesday is known as "Hump Day" and it was literally so at ONU this week when students took turns, two riders at a time, on one of the hump-back beasts. A handler walked the camel around a roped off area for the bumpy ride. Steps led up to the camel's seats, so mounting the animal was easy. A long line of students awaited their turn in chilly weather, a few snow flakes in the air, probably unlike the camel's native home in the hot deserts of the Middle East.
