Schill, Eloise Marie Endowment for the College of Nursing Learning Resources Center
The Eloise Marie Schill Endowment for The College of Nursing Learning Resources Center was created by Eloise Schill in 2007. The purpose of the endowment is to support the Learning Resource Center in the College of Nursing. The endowment is established in honor of Martha A. and Bruce R. Conrad. Martha Conrad is the director of the Learning Resources Center and has provided Eloise with invaluable assistance and support through the College of Nursing Center for Nursing.
Eloise grew up in Akron and graduated from Buchtel High School and received her bachelor’s degree in education from Ohio University. She retired from Bridgestone Firestone in 1982. She then worked at The University of Akron in the Development Department for five years.
The funds shall be used for equipment, operations, and projects within the Learning Resources Center at the discretion of the director. The Learning Resource Center provides hands-on experience for students in the College of Nursing and introduces them to a variety of technologies and tools they will be required to use in nursing. If the Center is no longer in existence, these funds may be used by the dean of the College for scholarship awards or to assist students in the technology of nursing.
