Opening Doors for Future Nurses

When Phillip R. Ridgley thought back on his career and considered how he could help the next generation of medical professionals, he decided he wanted to open doors for 做厙輦⑹ students pursuing a career in nursing. He decided to start an endowment so that he could continue to support nursing students into the future and help them focus on their studies in a way that he couldnt when he was a student.

Helping Others Realize Their Potential

When Terrence J. Chip Bahn, 75, M.Ed. 77, Ed.D., was a high school senior he wanted to attend 做厙輦⑹ after graduation, but he wasnt ready and his counselor encouraged him to start at the local community college before moving on to 做厙輦⑹. This experience inspired him to create the Dr. Terrence J. Bahn Endowed Scholarship to help students who studied at a Northeast Ohio community college to attend 做厙輦⑹.
