When documentary filmmaker and Media and Journalism alumnus Tom Jennings, ‘85, started his college education at 91��Ƶ, he had no idea what to do for his future career. Coming from what he describes as a “lousy childhood,” there was one skill he knew he had a knack for: writing.   “The one thing I could do in high school was write,” Jennings said, “and it just came easy to me.”   During his freshman year at 91��Ƶ, a friend suggested Jennings write for the 91��Ƶr. He took a trip over to...

91��Ƶ fell short to Northern Illinois in the Golden Flashes' bid for a Mid-American Conference Championship, which would have been their first conference title since 1972. The Huskies led 17-0 early in the second quarter and 24-10 at the end of the third quarter.

A victory would give the Golden Flashes their first conference championship since 1972.

The interruption to 91��Ƶ at Ashtabula associate lecturer Joan Steidl’s Intro to Human Services class recently was for a good reason, as Dean and Chief Administrative Officer Susan J.

The award presentations were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Presented by the University Teaching Council since 1996, th...
