MISSION

Influenced by a unique history and an enduring affiliation with the United Methodist Church, Ohio Northern University’s mission is to provide a high-quality learning environment that prepares students for success in their careers; service to their communities, the nation and the world; and a lifetime of personal growth inspired by the higher values of truth, beauty and goodness. The University’s distinctive academic program includes mutually supporting liberal and professional education components that integrate practice with theory, complemented by excellent co-curricular offerings that enrich the Northern experience. To fulfill this mission, faculty and staff engage with students so they can learn to think critically, creatively and entrepreneurially; communicate effectively; gain practical experience; solve problems collaboratively; and act as ethical and responsible members of a global community. CALENDAR Semesters

ATHLETICS

NCAA Division III, Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) 12 men’s and 11 women’s teams. The mascot is the Polar Bear, and the school colors are orange and black. STUDENT LIFE Students choose from a variety of campus activities, including more than 200 student organizations; four national sororities and five national fraternities; intercollegiate, intramural and club sports; and music and theatrical events.


ONU SUSTAINABILITY

Ohio Northern has made several significant strides in sustainability and currently is making considerable efforts to realize the full benefits of a comprehensive approach to sustainability at the University. Our oncampus housing derives 30 percent of its heating and cooling from geothermal technology, and three 400-kilowatt wind turbines provide about 5 percent of our electricity needs. Our fleet of hybrid and electric campus vehicles reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, and our many environmentally themed student organizations consistently find new ways to make ONU a greener place to live, learn and work.

LOCATION

Our scenic, safe and modern campus rests on nearly 342 acres in the village of Ada, Ohio. Our location provides a quaint small-town atmosphere that complements the friendly environment found on campus. Ada offers an array of restaurants, shopping and culture.

THE INN AT OHIO NORTHERN UNIVERSITY

Ada’s world-class hotel offers more than 70 deluxe guest rooms, luxurious amenities and more than 3,000 square feet of flexible meeting spaces. Guests of The Inn enjoy everything that the ONU campus has to offer: athletics, performing arts, and so much more.
