HONORS

Honor society inductee

Melissa Straub, daughter of Edward of Michele Straub of Canfield, recently was inducted into Ohio Northern University’s senior honor society — the Aurora Chapter of Mortar Board — based on her scholarship, leadership and service.

Straub, a Canfield High School graduate, also was accepted into the University of Toledo College of Medicine’s MedStart program, an early-admission program for the medical school. She will start there in August 2011. She will graduate from ONU in May 2011.

At ONU, Straub serves as president of the Zeta Sigma chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and the Society of Medical Professionals. She is secretary of the Professional Association of Women in Science. Last spring, she received ONU’s Debow Freed award for outstanding student leadership.
