Ada benefits from community service by ONU students
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 7, 2017

Community service is an important part of the college experience for many Ohio Northern University students.

Each year, approximately 1,500 ONU students are engaged in about 50,000 hours of community service in Ada.

“Community service can add much to a student’s college experience. For example, students often gain a sense that the world is a bigger place than they imagined and there are a lot of different people in the world,” said the Rev. David MacDonald, ONU’s chaplain.

 Both the volunteers and those being helped benefit from these efforts.
