Ohio Dominican University was chartered in 1911 as the College of St. Mary of the Springs. It was founded as an all-women's school, becoming coeducational in 1964. The college changed its name to Ohio Dominican College on July 1, 1968. Ohio Dominican became a university on July 1, 2002, under an ambitious strategic plan to become one of the country's preeminent small Catholic universities.[2]
Partnering with the Office of Student Life, Aurora’s projects with ODU include:
- Ohio Dominican Athletics Hall of Fame
- Transformed an unused hallway, even relocating a water fountain, but keeping the ceramic tiles as a backdrop!
- This temporary Hall of Fame is used to encourage the Black and Gold booster club to build a more permanent structure in the future.
- Brandscaping™ in the Alumni Hall Gymnasium, Panther Plaza, the Library and Erskine Hall, featuring the ODU panther and large images of student life.
- Originally framed photographs, Aurora was able to save ODU significant cost by direct-printing George Anderson photographs on ½ black Sintra substrate.
- Annual switch out of the Avenue banners on Sunbury Road and throughout campus.
- ODU’s Commencement and Convocation stage set.
