Eunice Ayele Assiongbon-Foly, born Jan. 1 at 1:43 a.m., is the daughter
of ONU engineering student Raymond Assiongbon-Foly and his wife,
Catherine.
Raymond, a junior in electrical engineering from Lima, Ohio, said he is
happy with the honor, but glad that he doesn't "have to wear any sashes
for it," since he describes himself as a "reserved person."

ONU Student Honored by U.S. Department of Energy
Ohio Northern University student Michalena Grosshans, a senior biology
major from Idaho Falls, Idaho, won third place at the U.S. Department
of Energy Office of Science 2008 Science and Energy Research Challenge.
Grosshans garnered third place for her bioforensic methods of detecting Brucella abortus, a bacterium that causes Brucellosis in wildlife and can be used as a biowarfare agent. The prize includes a $1,000 scholarship. She participated in the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

Astronomy Club Views Meteor Shower
The ONU Astronomy Club, with Dr. Jason Pinkney as faculty advisor, held a viewing of the Orionid Meteor shower in October. A meteor, also called "shooting star" or "falling star," is a streak of light in the atmosphere caused when space debris pierces the Earth's atmosphere at speeds in excess of 30 miles per second. Several meteors were spotted by the more than 20 people who attended.

Election GIS Exercise
Nine Ohio Northern University students participated in a recent exercise designed to simulate an election GIS (Geographic Information System). During the recent presidential election, most news agencies relied on similar systems that tabulate and automatically display election results. ONU's simulation emphasized the creation and implementation of the GIS, as well as its implications to the media, political parties and analysts.
