WELCOME TO THE UNEXPECTED. Welcome to Ohio Northern, where we pursue the undiscovered.

Where no one knows you until, suddenly, everyone does.

Welcome to the everyday magic of ONU. Joining the community at Northern means choosing a special blend of phenomenal academics and a 150-year tradition of family. Here, involvement and camaraderie come with the smalltown territory. And that territory – from the Tundra to the Green Monster – is truly what we make of it.

THE

MAGIC

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE For some, choosing where to go to college is about following the crowd. But Ohio Northern University students create their own experiences. Here, you’ll find a place that celebrates who you are. A place that invites you to dive past the surface to discover something new in yourself.

OF

NORTHERN TRADITION For us, tradition isn’t only about the past. It’s about our people, today and tomorrow, and the stories we author along the way. All of them speak of the strong friendships we build at ONU. Some traditions involve the black swans that live on our campus, good luck or bad, depending on who you talk to. (And, yes, there are ghosts. Some say in Presser Hall, and some say in Weber. But, either way, rest assured, they mostly keep to themselves.)

College is only four years. Relationships last a lifetime.

On a March afternoon in 1866, Henry Solomon Lehr stepped off a train and into Ada, Ohio. It was here that Lehr saw the potential of a small town to have a huge impact on the world by empowering students to achieve incredible things.

SWEETHEART TRADITION

POLAR PLUNGE

ONU draws together people who might not otherwise cross paths. Polar Bear sweethearts often get engaged at the pond and come back to campus to take their wedding photos.

PAINTING THE SPIRIT ROCK

We’ve been known to brave temperatures in the teens to raise funds for charity during Delta Sigma Phi’s Polar Plunge.

FESTIVAL OF COLORS

KLONDIKE SPIRIT

We celebrate spring’s arrival with Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colors, a free-forall frolic of throwing colored powder at each other. Sounds like fun, right?

We cheer each other on for absolutely everything. From game day to exam day, we have each other’s backs.

POLAR BEAR KISSES Studying is important, of course, but everyone knows the surest way to ace an exam is to kiss the nose of the polar bear in Dicke Hall.

THE ONU ADVANTAGE Our oldest tradition is HIGH-IMPACT learning, which is learning by doing – through internships, community outreach, real-world competitive projects, in-depth research and more.

Through this experience, we learn to push ourselves beyond our goals and uncover new directions. ONU students graduate extra-prepared for our first jobs, and this helps us land great ones. But, more importantly, your experiences at ONU will show you how to turn that first job into the second and third, and how to shape your entire career into something uniquely stellar. Setting students up for success after graduation is one of the things we do best.

That’s why we consistently beat the national average for graduate placement. In fact, this year we’re ranked No. 3 in the country by Zippia.

Flexibility is a good thing. When we explore our interests, we increase our chances of success and satisfaction in our careers. With the individual attention, guidance and support that ONU’s low studentto-faculty ratio adds to the academic experience, we’re able to explore more, discover more and, ultimately, focus more on the direction that’s right for us.

Whether you’re already set on your program or completely unsure, we all get to where we’re going via Ohio Northern. You don’t have to know everything already. Here, you will learn something new every day.

A pioneering member of Ohio’s legal system, the Hon. Jessica E. Price Smith, JD ’97, is the first African-American woman to be appointed to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio. She also serves on multiple civic boards.

Mary Beth Donahoe, BFA ’14, was a musical theatre and Spanish double major. A classic triple-threat, she can act, sing, dance – and also speak to fans in perfect spanish. She recently took all of those skills on the road with a national tour of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

In addition to being a tenured faculty member at Harvard Medical school, Carla (Bender) Kim, BS ’97, is conducting groundbreaking research at Boston Children’s Hospital’s Stem Cell Program. Her lab pioneered the use of stem cell biology to study lung cells and cancer, with the ultimate goal of understanding and improving lung disease and lung cancer outcomes.

Sheryl (Haushalter) Sopher, BSBA ’92, runs Robinson Fin Machines Inc. with her brothers, Mark and David Haushalter, BSBA ’92. Family businesses aren’t unusual.

But a family business that turns aluminum and copper into products used in nuclear-class submarines, Formula 1® race cars and the International Space Station definitely is.

OUTLOOK STARTS HERE .

When we surround ourselves with people from different backgrounds and cultures, we begin to see the world through a new lens. It’s a valuable perspective to gain in an increasingly connected world, and one that can help us understand not only others, but also ourselves. These four years of discovery are the perfect time to explore different cultures, meet people from different backgrounds and even have a life-changing study abroad experience. All of these things will make you stronger, more experienced and better prepared for the road ahead with a new global outlook.

26

Embrace new experiences and make new friends while studying abroad.

DISCOVER THE UNKNOWN Our students have traveled the world. They have explored both the well-traveled streets and unpaved paths of Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Ghana, South Africa, India, Greece, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, England, Amsterdam, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and more. Their collective advice, if you may be interested yourself? 100 percent do it.

EMBRACE THE UNFAMILIAR It starts right here on campus. Attend a multicultural event. Make friends with an international student. Learn about Eastern philosophy. Start speaking Russian. The world beyond Ohio is a weird and wonderful place. Learning to navigate it, understand it, and most of all appreciate it, will set you up for a lifetime of embracing the new, exciting and unfamiliar things you encounter on your way.

Find inspiration in the largerthan-life statues of Thailand.

DO SOMETHING DARING Whether you’re studying species in Costa Rica, riding the waves in Bilbao or exploring the streets of an unfamiliar city, study abroad offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in new cultures, go on amazing adventures and make friends all over the world. Leaving the comfort of your home country can be a bit intimidating, but that is exactly why it is so rewarding.

CRICKET AND JUSTICE FOR ALL Pakistani exchange student Syeda Fatma studied criminal justice for four months at ONU. Since she aspires to be the first female lawyer in her city, and eventually a chief justice, she was very excited to learn hands-on about prison rehabilitation programs here in Ohio, which don’t exist in her home country.

Perhaps even more so, Syeda was excited to share her passion for cricket with the student community at Ohio Northern by founding our very first Cricket Club.

Stambaugh Hall

DINING The Dining Hall at McIntosh Center is open seven days a week for all-you-can-eat meals. Try making a smoothie with our Blender Bikes, which are pedal-powered smoothie machines.

SERVICE

BEARS GIVE BACK

d r e s s e d fo r s u cce s s We learn a lot at Ohio Northern.

How to kick back and have fun. How to dress for the occasion. How to give back to the community.

Sometimes all at the same time.

Why wait until you graduate to make a difference? Each year, approximately 1,500 ONU students are engaged in about 50,000 hours of community service. Because, regardless of background, we make a positive impact.

ACE DAY Jump in as early as fall semester’s opening weekend and engage with the community through service.

LOVE DAY We bond with our fellow Polar Bears over a good cause during this University-wide effort. These three hours of community service in Ada and beyond, held in the spring, honor our commitment to giving back. m a x i m u m e x p os u r e Sure, we all come from different places. But one of the best things about Northern is that we can mix, mingle and absorb the beauty of other cultures – and we don’t always have to travel far to do it.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Build homes for families who need them during the school year, and journey during spring break to other parts of the country to help out.

RELIGION

THE ENGLISH CHAPEL At ONU, we believe in developing your spirit as well as your mind. Across from Heterick Memorial Library, you’ll find the English Chapel, the epicenter for spirituality on campus for generations, open to all, regardless of religion.

Though Ohio Northern has been affiliated with the United Methodist Church since 1899, we support an active religious life for students of any religion, both on and off campus, that includes worship, fellowship, outreach and serving others.

STRONG SUPPORT As ONU graduates, we have advantages.

A strong liberal arts foundation prepares us for a wide range of jobs.

The relationships we build with professors open professional doors.

The experience we gain from learning experiences like internships and externships gives us a head start in the workplace.

From offering to put in a good word, to offering spare rooms, our well-connected and widespread alumni network will do anything and everything to see fellow alumni succeed.

No matter which career awaits us, the staff in the Office of Polar Careers help us develop strategies to find internships and co-ops, seek professional employment, and enter graduate or professional schools.

Did we mention that 95 percent job-placement rate yet?

They tell you it’s hard to get in.
