March 16 saw another strong turnout for an ONU Parent Advisory Group meeting, which resulted in a successful exchange of ideas and suggestions regarding parental engagement with the University. The advisory group heard from several members of the ONU staff, including President Dan DiBiasio, Dr. Julie Hurtig, Justin Courtney, Betsi Werling, Kelly Anderson, Jennifer Lambdin and Karen Condeni. The advisory group has been reviewing the ONU web presence, including the Parent and Family site and the Northern Parent newsletter, has contributed testimonials and is willing to participate in other voluntary actions to aid ONU.

This advisory group effort is designed to assist in tactically reaching the larger audience of ONU parents who can be helpful resources in terms of time, talent and other contributions. ONU faculty and staff are encouraged to contribute articles of interest to parents for the newsletter. Please send any suggestions, ideas and features to Karen Condeni, who has been coordinating the parent program. The latest edition of the ONU Parents Newsletter in now online and provides information about accreditation, career tips and updates on campus happenings.
