What is your major, and how did you end up at ONU?

I’m a double major in accounting and finance. I came here because it’s close to home but mainly the volleyball program. Plus, the new Dicke College of Business really drew me in.

How have you managed to balance such a busy volleyball season with an intense academic schedule?

What is your major, and how did you end up at ONU?

My major is professional writing. I chose ONU because I was looking for a small liberal arts school, and I also wanted to run.

What motivates you on the course?

I like feeling like I did my best when I finish the race. I never want to think I could have run faster. You want to do your best for your team at every race.

What is your major and how did you end up at ONU?
I am a double major in both social studies and history. I came here because I was undecided and my sis was a pharmacy major here. I really liked the campus and the people seemed nice.

Any plans to continue running after college?
I want to do 5k’s and a half marathon, possibly one coming up in Cleveland. I want to run recreationally, not competitively.

What is your major, and how did you end up at Ohio Northern?
My major is exercise physiology. I came here because I am from a small town and I like the atmosphere here. ONU has a beautiful campus and everyone is so friendly. I also felt like if I came here I could participate in track and several other activities.

What are your plans after college?
If I get into graduate school, I would love to go for occupational therapy.
