Making the World a Classroom At the end of May 2006, the art department embarked on its semi-annual European trip to Paris, France. Faculty members Luke Sheets, Melissa Eddings and William Mancuso were joined by alumnae Julz Kirschenbaum ’05 A&S, and Stephanie Zank ’04 A&S, as well as the Dean of the Getty College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Robert Manzer and his son, Sam Manzer and Luke’s wife, Katherine Spike. Stephanie Zank ’04 A&S, Sam Manzer, Julz Kirschenbaum ’05 A&S, enjoy the sights in Paris.

The group ate and museum-hopped their way throughout Paris for nine amazing days and nights. The art department will visit London, England, in May of 2008. For more information, please contact Professor Melissa Eddings at (419) 772-2751 or m-eddings@onu.edu.

Polar Bear Report
Faces from the Field These young men and women are some of the unsung heroes of ONU athletic teams who contributed greatly to their team’s successes, but often times are not given the “All-Star” credit they deserve.
Football Aaron Esposito
Esposito, a senior from Grand Blanc, Mich., started the last 30 games at outside linebacker for the Polar Bears, earning Second Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference accolades this fall. He finished the 2006 season third on the team in tackles with 58 (27 solo). He also had four sacks, six tackles for loss, an interception, and had six passes broken up. His play helped the Polar Bears, ranked as high as No. 9 nationally during the season, finish 6-4 and post their 11th consecutive upper division finish in the OAC.
Volleyball Kelly Hale
Hale, a senior defensive specialist from Elkhart, Ind., was third on the team with 393 digs this season. Hale finished her four-year career with 1,058 digs, making her one of only a dozen ONU players to reach the 1,000-dig plateau. The Polar Bears finished their season ranked No. 23 nationally, won their seventh consecutive OAC regular season title, advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight year and posted their NCAA-record 30th consecutive winning season with a 27-9 mark.
Men’s Soccer Josh Danklefsen
Danklefsen is a four-year letterman on defense from Sidney, Ohio. He started in 59 matches over the past four seasons and played in 76 games in his career. This season he started all 24 matches and had two assists from his defensive spot. His play helped the No. 18-ranked Polar Bears to their best season in school history. ONU finished 16-3-5, won the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 6-1-2 mark, captured the OAC Tournament and went 1-1 in its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
22
Women’s Soccer Barbie Krieger
Krieger, a junior goalkeeper from West Chester, Ohio, is a three-year starter for the Polar Bears. She started all 19 matches this season with a 0.98 goals against average and 61 saves. Krieger has started 51 of 53 matches in her career and has a 0.98 career goals against average with 204 saves. She helped the Polar Bears to their third consecutive winning season with a 13-3-3 mark, a second place OAC finish and a spot in the OAC Tournament.
Women’s Cross Country Jackie Kessler
Kessler, a senior from Attica, Ohio, is a four-year letter winner for the Lady Polar Bears. She is one of three runners to earn All-Conference and All-Region honorees each of the past two seasons. She has finished in ONU’s top seven in all 36 races in her career. This year, she finished in the top four all 10 races. Kessler was a vital reason the No. 29-ranked Polar Bears posted their 15th consecutive winning season, won their second consecutive OAC Championship, finished fourth at the Great Lakes Regionals and made their first-ever NCAA Championships appearance.
Men’s Cross Country Mark Bierkan
Bierkan, a senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, earned All-Conference accolades for the first time in his career this fall. A fouryear letterman, he came back from two injury-plagued seasons and finished in ONU’s top-seven in all nine races this fall. With Bierkan’s help, No. 27-ranked Ohio Northern posted its eighth consecutive winning season in 2006, finished second in the OAC Championships, finished third at the Great Lakes Regionals and made its first NCAA Championships appearance since 1977.

College of Business Administration Seeks Alumni Mentors Alumni who are practicing managers in business or owners of businesses can bring their realworld perspective to the academic program by becoming mentors to ONU business administration students. “For the student, this may be the first professional networking they have,” says James W. Fenton, Jr., dean of the college of business administration. There is a need for more ONU alumni mentors. “Ultimately, we’d like to have about 450 mentors for our students.” Mentors are important for the support and encouragement of business administration students throughout their ONU career. Freshmen are teamed with upperclassmen who help them with the transition from high school to college life. Upperclassmen are then teamed with alumni mentors to gain a business practitioner’s opinion, advice on career options, social skills and professional networking. Internships and even job opportunities are possible outcomes of the mentoring relationship. The program seeks to build relationships between students and alumni. Students are encouraged to invite their mentors to campus activities or sporting events. Mentors get to know their students at appropriate business or social events and they are then able to offer an objective assessment of the student’s attitude, appearance and behavior, as well as to critique their work and offer advice on real world job expectations, career planning and similar topics. “This mentoring engenders itself,” says Fenton. “When a student goes through college mentored by an alum and then graduates, he or she is more likely to give back as a new mentor. To me, there’s no better role for an alum than mentoring.” Currently, 130 graduates of ONU’s business administration programs are mentors to ONU business students. To volunteer or find out more information contact Dr. Fenton’s office at (419) 772-2707. For a full list of mentors go to: http://www.onualumni.com/mentors.html
Other ways alumni can help ONU’s College of Business Adminstration: • Make an annual gift to the College Dean’s Discretionary Fund. (These funds support student travel and faculty development.) • Hire ONU business graduates into full-time, professional positions. • Help recruit high caliber high school students and bring them and their parents to campus. • Provide paid internship opportunities.
