This Veterans Day, we honor ONU Law Dean Charles Rose, a distinguished leader and veteran who has dedicated his life to service and the law. Before joining ONU, Dean Rose served on active duty for 20 years in the United States Army, retiring from the Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps.
As an expert in trial advocacy, evidence, criminal procedure, and military law, Dean Rose has contributed extensively to these fields as a prolific author and lecturer. His expertise has been shared with audiences worldwide.
Under his leadership, ONU Law has seen continued growth, including the number of military veterans pursuing their Juris Doctor degrees. Today, we salute Dean Rose and all veterans for their service and commitment to our country.

Yes, Michelle Yeasting, BSN ’17, runs the forensic nurse program for Blanchard Valley Health System in Findlay—and she also founded it.
After receiving an associate’s degree in nursing, this mother of three worked for Blanchard Health as a S*x Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), a medical professional who treats sexual assault victims and collects evidence to bring their attackers to justice.
But Michelle wanted more for her community.
“I wanted there to be nurses who treat all victims of assault, not just those sexually abused,” so she started the forensic nurse program in 2016 and enrolled in Ohio Northern University’s nursing program, receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in 2017.
