STUDENT AFFAIRS ADMINISTRATOR WINS LEADERSHIP AWARD

     COLUMBUS -- Leslie Ann Beyer, of DELAWARE (43015), the 
acting assistant director of student affairs for the Marion 
campus of The Ohio State University, has won the Kathryn T. 
Schoen Award.

     The $2,000 prize is awarded annually by the university 
to a female faculty or staff member to help foster 
opportunities for professional growth and leadership for 
women in higher education.

     Beyer's career in student life has included academic 
advising, teaching and program coordination.  In supporting 
her nomination for the award, Beyer's director describes her 
as "an extraordinarily talented, motivated and caring 
person" with an "unwavering commitment and dedication to 
diversity issues."

     Beyer earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 
education at Ohio State in 1984 and her Master of Arts 
degree there in 1987.  She is currently pursuing a doctorate 
in higher education and student affairs.

     Beyer is an active member of The Ohio State University 
Marion Minority Advisory Committee, an advisor for the 
Cultural Optimist Club, and coordinator for an exchange 
program with Wilberforce University.

     Beyer intends to use her award money to attend two 
conferences to enhance her understanding of diversity 
issues.

     Schoen, a resident of Logan, became the first woman to 
hold a vice presidency at Ohio State when she was named vice 
president for educational services in 1978.  She served on 
the faculties of the colleges of Education, Medicine, and 
Social and Behavioral Sciences and as associate provost for 
faculties.  Schoen is now vice president emeritus.
