Theatre Season Focuses on "Stories of Courage"
Throughout our life experiences we rely on our courage to venture,
persevere, and withstand danger, fear or difficulty. The 2019-2020 AU
Theatre season will tell three courageous stories indifferent styles
(drama, comedy, musical) and set in varying time periods and places.
Although they differ from each other in many ways, the stories and
messages are timeless and universal including:
- Arthur Miller's dramatic adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People
- The storytelling magic of ABBA's timeless songs in the musical Mamma Mia!
- The female version of Neil Simon's hilarious comic classic, The Odd Couple

Creative Executive talks to JDM 331 students
It is not often when a film company moves to a small Midwestern town. In the case of Good Deed Entertainment and Cracked Films that
relocation occurred, as GDE recently settled in downtown Ashland. That
move has many benefits for Ashland University students. Already, two
Journalism and Digital Media students benefited from onsite internships.
For the students in JDM 331 Digital Media Management, it was
enlightening when GDE Creative Executive Andy Myers provided his insight
to managing a film organization. Read more at ashlandmedia.blogspot.com

Mourning the Loss of Dr. Iyad Ajwa
It is with great sadness that we share that Dr. Iyad Ajwa, Professor of Computer Science, passed away on Friday morning after a battle with cancer. Services for Dr. Ajwa were held on Friday afternoon at the Al Noor Mosque in Columbus.
Dr. Ajwa joined Ashland University as an Assistant Professor in 1997 and was devoted to our institution. He was a beloved teacher having been nominated twice for the prestigious Taylor Teaching Award. Dr. Ajwa was the recipient of a prestigious Fulbright Award for the 2013-2014 academic year during which he taught and conducted research at Umm Al-Qura University in Saudi Arabia. In 2005-06 he was granted a Senior Study Leave to teach at Abu Dhabi University. Dr. Ajwa's scholarly record includes numerous peer-reviewed articles, grants and contributed papers. He served as Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (2014-2019) and recently developed the curricula for two new majors: cyber security and software design and development. The entire academic community joins the entire Ashland University community in mourning his loss. Please keep Dr. Ajwa's family in your prayers.
