She sees her education more as a stepping stone than as a final destination

ONU student Elizaveta Dyachuk from Russia says: "Americans are very much like Russians, but smile more frequently"
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 21, 2020

Elizaveta Dyachuk
English pronunciation:  Liza (pronounce like Lisa but with Z)
Nationality: Russian
Year at ONU: Junior
Major at ONU: Business Management  

Icon: How did you hear about ONU?
Liza: It’s the most popular question that I get here! People are always wondering: How did you end up choosing ONU in the corn fields?! I got lucky that my program, I am a part of (The YEAR Program), has chosen it for me because otherwise, I’d do a bad job, just selecting the well-known one. Ohio Northern is a great place to study.

Can you imagine an Ada without a Don Traxler?

Ada chamber gives former mayor and community activist a lifetime membership
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 20, 2020

Want to hear a good Don Traxler story?

When Don went to see Ronald Reagan campaign in Lima in 1984, he set off the beepers as he walked through a metal detector.

The Secret Service didn’t ask him to empty his pockets. They should have. His pockets were filled with Mondale for President pins. The pins set off the beepers.

That’s not the first time Don’s antics have set off beepers, and it probably won’t be the last.
