Ohio Northern University alumnus Kevin Cramer, BSCPE ’11, is the kind of person who keeps digging when others settle for surface-level answers.

Curiosity has powered every step of his path, from a middle schooler teaching himself to code, to a college student diving into the “why,” to a senior software engineer at a global company.

In recognition of his professional accomplishments and focus on service, Ohio Northern University is pleased to present Kevin with the 2026 William L. Robinson Young Alumni Award during Homecoming & Reunion Weekend.

Ohio Northern University’s Megan Wood, Ph.D., assistant professor of communications studies, was one of 20 scholars nationally who were chosen for the prestigious National Humanities Center Writing Institute that took place this summer in North Carolina.

The nine-day residency gave her “the gift of focused time to write,” she says, and provided her with valuable writing tools and strategies that she plans to share with her ONU students and colleagues.

This is only the second year that the Center has offered the Writing Institute, and Wood is the first ONU scholar chosen for the program. ONU is a member of the National Humanities Center, which is an independently-funded institute dedicated exclusively to advanced study in the humanities.

The ONU community marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 through tradition, prayer, and quiet reflection.

Before dawn, the men’s lacrosse team completed its annual 110-flight stair climb at Dial-Roberson Stadium to honor the first responders who rushed into the Twin Towers to rescue victims. Head Coach Nat St. Laurent, a U.S. Army veteran who enlisted after 9/11, started the tradition in 2019 to ensure younger generations never forget.

University chaplain, Reverend Brandi Grant-Rigsby, also held memorial remembrances at the eternal flame statue throughout the morning to pay respect to each flight lost that day.

At 5:20 p.m., a final bell will toll from the English Chapel, echoing across campus in solemn remembrance of the tragic events of that day. We join the rest of the country in remembering the individuals who perished and the first responders who sacrificed everything in service to others.

Across hundreds of miles and several time zones, a shared love of music recently united communities from Ohio Northern University and Germany.

This past June, German students traveled to Ada to attend ONU’s Summer Music Camp. A few weeks later, music professor Dr. Sarah Waters and 18 ONU alumni made a reciprocal journey to Germany for a reunion and performances alongside past and present camp participants.

“It felt like a great big family trip,” says Waters. “It was magical.”

As Ohio’s longest-running summer program for young musicians in grades 7-12, operating for 54 years, ONU’s camp primarily draws students from Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. However, the village of Laupheim, Germany, regularly sends 3-5 young musicians, and every three years, Stuttgart-based conductor Alexander B**r serves as the camp’s guest conductor.
