The Miles-Thompson Memorial Endowed Scholarship was recently established by faculty member, Dr. Janet Thompson and her husband, Gerald. This new scholarship is for students attending The University of Akron Wayne College (Medina Campus).
Gerald and Janet Thompson
Dr. Thompson has been a full-time UA faculty member for 25 years. Her dedication to education started at an early age, inspired by her parents, who were the first in both of their families to graduate from college. Janet’s father, Harold Miles, graduated with a degree in engineering, specializing in bridge construction.
The scholarship will assist students pursuing the STEM areas, with preference given to nursing and engineering majors.
