A Homecoming Celebration! It’s a tailgate at ONU on the Tundra, and you are invited! Join alumni, students and friends for a wonderful weekend on our beautiful Ohio Northern campus. Northern will offer numerous activities all weekend long, including tours, music, festivities and rides, and, of course, we’ll have plenty of food on the grill waiting for you, your family and your friends!
