Cool Stuff
Check out the new Alumni Photo Album. We'll be working on getting past events up on the site, but for now enjoy the recent additions and check back for more photos!
Dress up your desktop with ODU themed wallpapers! Just click on the resolution size appropriate for your monitor, the file will open then use your mouse to right click on the image. From the drop-down menu, select "Set Image as Desktop" or "Set as Background" and the image will cover your desktop. Or you can select "Save Picture As" to save the image to your own files for later use!
Even people who never attended Ohio State can sing the words to Carmen Ohio, but how many students, faculty staff, and alumni at Ohio Dominican know the Ohio Dominican alma mater? Learn it. Sing it!
What IS the right word?
If you're a male, you're an alumnus. If there are a bunch of guys together, you're alumni. If you're female, you're an alumna. But a group of females is called alumnae (pronounced alum-nay). However, if a group is made up of men and women, you're alumni again. That's why you see "alumni" most often; it can be gender neutral.
Are you following all of this? Alumnus, alumna, alumnae, alumni, all comes from the Latin words "alumnus," which means foster child and "alere," which means to nourish.
Regardless of the word you prefer, we hope you know that your alma mater, whether those words were Mary of the Springs, Ohio Dominican College (ODC) or Ohio Dominican University (ODU), cares about you and is here to nourish and assist you in any way that we are able.
