OLSON AMONG TOP STUDENTS YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO Morgan Olson of Nappanee is among top students named to the President's list at Youngstown State University for the Fall Semester of 2017. Olson is studying Marketing Management at YSU. The President's List includes full-time undergraduate students who have earned a 4.0 average for not less than 12 semester hours of credit in the semester just ended. Olson also received honors recently for being one of three YSU undergraduate students whose project was selected as the top team project in a digital and social media marketing competition. Olson is a North Wood High School graduate. She and her team members earned Hootsuite's Social Marketing Certification, which covers social media marketing and advertising, and the cost of the certification was paid by the Williamson College of Business Administration. The project, in which student teams develop a strategic set of tactical recommendations in digital and social media marketing for a local business, is conducted every fall at YSU's business college. It gives students hands-on experience developing and documenting a marketing strategy, and then presenting their work to a business client. The winning project was chosen by this year's client, ReMar Review, a Warren, Ohio, provider of NCLEX test preparation services for aspiring nurses, and by the Ohio Small Business Development Center.

The school will not be notified of the results until February 26. The Guidance Department will communicate any last minute changes directly to the student and/or parent impacted. Please plan on taking the test, unless you are notified otherwise. If there are any questions about the testing procedures or your student's individualized testing schedule, please contact Jade Sipic or Dawn Ziegler at North Wood High School, 574-773-4127.
