This was our moment to move Ohio Northern University forward. And thanks to your generosity, we did it. Together we secured a bright future for current and future Polar Bears, and we upheld the pillars of unity and community that have kept 蹤獲扦 strong for more than 150 years.
We shared a bold, compelling vision for 蹤獲扦s future, and our community responded. Our supporters understand the quality and outstanding return on investment of an 蹤獲扦 education. Thanks to their generosity, we will be able to help more students access that education and enrich the learning experience for all of our students.President Melissa J. Baumann, Ph.D.
