"Giving back is my way of saying ‘thank you' for the outstanding educational experience I received at ONU. I want to help students after me in the way I've been helped."

Retired Doctor

"Our years at ONU were the best in our lives. Our ONU Gift Annuity will help others to enjoy their time as students at our alma mater."

"I feel very strong about my support and commitment to Ohio Northern University."

"I feel good about making this commitment to Ohio Northern University."

"My gift to the University is the best investment I have right now."

"I feel that giving back to the University is essential to ensure that current and future students enjoy the same opportunities that I did."

"The education we received at Northern has opened so many doors in our respective careers. Our experiences both inside and outside the classroom wouldn't have been possible without the help of the generous scholarships we both received. We want future generations of students to have those same opportunities, so we're proud to give back."

"In January 1995, I toured Ohio Northern in blizzard like conditions. From the moment we stepped on the campus, after an eight hour drive, my life was forever changed. Even with all-night study groups for Western Civilization or the early morning shift at the radio station, I can't imagine a moment when I wasn't in love with Ohio Northern. Who wouldn't want to experience everything that Northern has to offer. The personal attention, the endless list of activities, even the dorm like conditions that came well-before today's luxury apartments, each moment, each second shaped who I am today. I give because I want others to enjoy the Northern Experience. Listen to the chapel bells, eat dinner with a special member of the faculty, cross the tundra in a snowstorm and know that this is an opportunity of a lifetime."

"It is important to me to "pay ahead" as Woody Hayes so aptly put it. Someone did it for my wife Elaine and me and we are trying to assist others who will come after us. Our daughters received a quality education from ONU and we know that future students will benefit from the type of education that is offered by our alma mater."

"Ohio Northern University gave me more than I bargained for!"
