"The ASPCA behavior team is currently evaluating the dogs seized from the investigation to help place them with appropriate homes when they're ready to go up for adoption."

Christina Steiner of Hilliard and her teammates from Ohio Dominican University took third place nationwide in the 2010 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Competition.

The four-person ODU team, "The Green Assets," competed against 64 other teams over three rounds. As one of the three finalists, the Green Assets and Professor Robert Osborne traveled to New York City to present their proposal to the AICPA Board of Directors and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Umstead Hotel and Spa, their real-world client. Following their presentation, the ODU students answered questions from AICPA members.
