When I was in PSR (like Sunday school but happened on Monday nights), my instructor emphasized to me the importance of unity in a community. This idea is now completely clear to me because of Ohio Northern University.
ONU is truly one of a kind. Of course my opinion is biased after living here for three years and loving every minute of it, but this unique trait was once again emphasized to me with a fundraiser that the Public Relations Student Society of America chapter hosted this past Monday.
Pizza for PRSSA is a great example of how the unity of ONU and Ada can create something great. Utilizing our Ada resources, PRSSA brought pizza from all three pizzerias to the middle of campus. And if you bring pizza and price it low, they will come.
Almost 100 students ventured to the tundra to try the three different slices. After eating and voting, students crowned East of Chicago the best pizza in Ada. And I must say, their pineapple pizza was delicious!
Yes, ONU students and Ada pizza establishments made this event possible, but there are so many more people in this community that contributed to its success. PRSSA members spent the summer planning details. Vision Communications (PRSSA's firm) provided publicity and manpower. Physical plant helped us set up and tear down tables and chairs for the event, along with providing a sound system. And even more students, not affiliated with PRSSA, volunteered to help run the voting and drinks table.
Pizza for PRSSA is only a small example of events like this on campus. I can't imagine a better place to take an idea and turn it into a reality.
