ONU Model United Nations Team Travels to New York!

Prior to Easter Break, the Ohio Northern University Model United Nations team traveled to New York City to compete at the National Model United Nations Conference.  

Throughout the week, the 13 students worked on solving real-world crises in a simulation setting as representatives of Turkmenistan.  Through all of their hard work, the team brought home a distinguished delegation award, a higher achievement than they have ever previously accomplished at this conference.  

Members include: (Seniors) Daniella Chambers, James Lee, Franklin Howard, Sung Eun Heo, Nahoko Shiojiri, (Juniors) Katie Deeter, Hannah Allen, Mary Miller, (Sophomores) Regine Jean-Michel, (Freshmen) Jeremy Pultz, Taylor Phillips, Arianna Ranieri, and Andrea Sheller.  The team was accompanied by faculty adviser Dr. Kofi Nsia-Pepra, and assisted throughout the year by Professor Trisitin Kilgallon. They look forward to returning next spring and are actively seeking new members!

Congratulations MUN Team! 

Professor Lomax's Military and Society Class Travels to the Air Force Museum

Dr. Lomax recently took his HIST 2501 Military and Society class to the United States Air Force Museum in Dayton.  The museum is a regular stop for that class, and as always, they paused to take a group photo in front of one of the historic airplanes on display there.

Mike King Presents Research at Clement Stacy Memorial Undergraduate Research Conference

Mike King presented his paper on the Ku Klux Klan's educational policy during the Progressive Era to the 2014 Clement S Stacy Memorial Undergraduate Research Conference sponsored by Purdue University-Calumet.  Mike did a fantastic job presenting, and handled the Q&A after his talk with aplomb.  Dr. Crawford accompanied Mike, and also learned a great deal - the best spot to buy pizza in Fort Wayne, for instance.  Mike is currently engaged in his student teaching experience and will be looking for his first career stop soon.

Experiences such as this and the previous Phi Alpha Theta Conference are what separate the HPJ experience from that found at other universities.  The chance to share one's research typically is a feature of graduate school.  We strongly encourage our majors to take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible.

Well done Mike, and best of luck for your job search!
