Good things come in threes! Jonathan McKenna, a second-year law student, is the third in his family to attend Ohio Northern University, and a triplet, who for the first time, is blazing a path all of his own.

Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, McKenna was curious about Ada, Ohio when applying for law school. Both his mom and dad attended ONU and after years of hearing about the school and the surrounding community, he decided to take a closer look.

A second-year law student, Hannah Smith is a Double Bear, and now considers Ada home. “I never intended to go here,” says Smith. “When I took a tour of the campus, I felt this is where I needed to be.”

“Everyone here is so kind, genuine and hospitable,” she explains. “The longer I’ve been here, the more doors that keep opening for me.”
