Ohio Northern University’s Tunes on the Tundra will feature We The Kings, with PUBLIC as the opening act, in the ONU Field House on Friday, Sept. 4, at 7:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by the ONU Student Senate.
“As leaders of the campus, we believe events like this are crucial to keeping students excited and proud of their campus,” said Gina Grandillo, president of the ONU Student Senate.
Tunes on the Tundra is an event that alumni and friends speak very highly of. It had a sense of tradition that branded our campus and gave everyone something to look forward to. We want to bring Tunes back while adding a little twist to make it our own. We are very excited to have a campus-wide event in which everyone can get together and have a little fun to bring in the start of the semester.”
