97-06-11 Schoen Award Goes to Conry & Brooker

TWO OHIO STATE STAFF MEMBERS RECEIVE SCHOEN AWARD

     COLUMBUS -- Two Ohio State University staff members will
enhance their leadership and administrative abilities with the
help of the 1997 Kathryn T. Schoen Award.

     Julie Conry of COLUMBUS (43235) and Nancy A. Brooker of
WOOSTER will receive their awards and cash honorariums during a
luncheon from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. June 11 at the Faculty Club,
181 S. Oval Mall.

     Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee will make the
presentations.

     Conry is a development officer for the College of Nursing.
With her $2,000 Schoen Award, she will attend a certification
program in fundraising management. The program will assist Conry
in developing additional research on women’s philanthropy and
careers in fundraising. Conry also will generate professional
development programs in philanthropy.

     Brooker is a licensed professional counselor in the Office
of Academic Affairs at the university’s Agricultural Technical
Institute in Wooster. She will use her $1,000 Schoen Award to
attend a conference on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a test of
individual differences and cultural diversity. She will use
information from the conference to continue research into the
characteristics of students who enroll at ATI, a two-year
technical program. Her studies show ATI students have a Myers-
Briggs profile much different from that shown by typical college
students nationwide.

     Kathryn Schoen became the first woman vice president at Ohio
State when she was appointed to lead educational services in
1978. In more than 20 years of service, she gave her students and
the university her greatest commitment and priority. She was
known for giving others, particularly women, opportunities for
professional growth.

     Kathryn Schoen and her husband, Richard, continue to set
examples for others by giving to the Schoen Award Fund. They live
in Longwood, Fla.
