Award-winning student scholarship Zachary Dunndouble major in Chemistry and Applied physics,minor in Astronomy and an Education concentration

Dunn was selected as a 2012 Goldwater Scholar by the trustees of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation. This marks the eighth consecutive year that Ohio Northern students have received this honor, the premier undergraduate award of its typeinthefieldsofmathematics,thenatural sciences and engineering.

Sometimes, it only takes one conversation, a single encounter, to change an entire outlook and academic path.

Eric Schultz enrolled at Ohio Northern University with his eyes on a career as a veterinarian. But then a single inspiring lecture changed his lifelong plans.

“I always thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, but now I’m studying plant biology.”

It sounds funny, but it’s true. Because even the longest-held plans can be changed in an instant.

As part of his preveterinary medicine program, Eric was required to take a course in botany, and one particular class became a turning point.

“The class was about gymnosperms and cycads. Something about that lecture just clicked with me. I felt a switch turn, and I was on a new path. That new path was plant biology.”

Evenwithanewmajor,Ericconfidentlycontinuedhisstudies at Northern.

“The biology department at ONU is great. I had no need to switch schools just because I switched majors.”

Eric Schultz, BS ’11 Fort Wayne, Ind.

“I was successful at ONU because of my drive to get involved and put myself out there.”

To say that Kendra Hearn merely “got involved” is practically an understatement.

She was captain of ONU’s varsity cheerleaders, secretary of multicultural affairs in Student Senate, and president of the Zeta Phi Chapter of Sigma Iota Epsilon. She was a member of the Gospel Ensemble, the Black Student Union, the Muslim Student Association, Omicron Delta Kappa, President’s Club, Ultimate Faith Outreach, the Society for the Advancement of Management, Alpha Lambda Delta, Habitat for Humanity, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She even served as a student representative on the Presidential Selection Committee.

It was all part of her plan to make the most of her college years.

“You get in, you get involved, you join organizations, and you keep yourself open. Ohio Northern makes it really easy to meet new people and be involved and stay involved.”

With so many activities and obligations, Kendra needed to develop a system to keep things straight.

“Being involved in a lot of organizations can be taxing at times. My planner helped me out a lot!”

Most people try to avoid bumps in the road. But for Austin Moyer, rough terrain was just what he needed to land his dream job.

Austin credits his four years with ONU’s highly successful Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) team for his position at Polaris Industries, a company that designs, engineers, manufactures and markets vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles.

“Baja is the reason I got my job. Four years of design, teamwork and leadership – that’s what Polaris wants to see from students,” he says. “If I didn’t do Baja, there is no way I would have ever been given this opportunity.”

The Baja SAE competition strives to stimulate real-world engineering design projects by challenging teams to build off-road vehicles that can withstand rough terrain or water.

Austin’s participation in ONU’s Baja SAE team began his freshman year, and it soon became an important part of his college life. By his second year on the team, Austin found himself in charge of the suspension-steering design – something that may never have happened at another school.

“At most schools, it’s not until the junior or senior year that students get to actually work on the Baja car,” he says. “That’s something unique about Northern: You have the opportunity to get involved right away. Once I got out and got involved with campus organizations, I found out who I was as a person,anddefinitelyasaleader.”

When you look at Abby’s list of accomplishments at ONU, it is no wonder that she was the 2012 winner of the Catherine Freed Women’s Leadership Award (named for the University’s former First Lady), which recognizes outstanding female leaders on campus.

Abby was a Good News Bear and a member of President’s Club and Northern Without Borders. She’s also been active in the Greek community, not only in her sorority, but also as a recruitment counselor for the Pan-Hellenic Council. She was elected to the Order of Omega and served as vice president.

Abby was chosen by the College of Pharmacy to attend three national programs on chemical dependency and alcoholism, abuse and misuse of prescription drugs, and drug testing. She has been the campus resource and advocate on these important issues, bringing awareness to campus and establishing a continuing education program on prescription drug abuse.

Abby is pictured at the College of Pharmacy’s White Coat Ceremony with her parents, James, BSPh ’75, and Marcia (Allison) Ricket,BSPh’76.Thisceremonyofficiallymarksthestudents’transitionfromthefirstthreeyearsoftheirONUpharmacy education to the last three professional years.
