KATHRYN T. SCHOEN
Throughout her distinguished career, Dr. Kathryn T. Schoen has given opportunities to others, especially women, for professional growth through her outstanding service and example. She began her career as a teacher and a librarian in the public schools, then went on to undertake study, teaching, and administration in higher education.
Dr. Schoen distinguished herself as a member of the faculties of the Colleges of Education, Medicine, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. She complemented her work as a faculty member at Ohio State by generously volunteering to assist educators across the nation, particularly in the fields of allied health, nursing, and curriculum development. A leader among educators, Dr. Schoen chaired the 1970 university-wide study to assess the status of women at Ohio State. Her contributions in this role led to many changes that improved opportunities for women faculty, staff, and students.
In 1972, Dr. Schoen served as Ohio State's Associate Provost for Faculties. She achieved the distinction of being the first woman appointed as a vice president of The Ohio State University when, in 1978, she was selected as Vice President for Educational Services.
Ohio State is deeply appreciative of Dr. Schoen's many contributions to the University and of her continued support through her generous sponsorship of the Kathryn T. Schoen Awards.
