The 2005 Ethel Lathrop Scholarship recipient is Megan Ruhn. This year we are awarding the scholarship in honor of Ethel Lathrop’s daughter, Esther, who recently passed on. Dale Kirk and Carolyn Johnson and Ernest and Marie Lathrop came to honor Ethel and celebrate with Megan. This scholarship was created in honor of Ethel Lathrop in 1972 by the Oregon Extension Homemakers Council and Lathrop Family. It is awarded annually to a junior or senior who is interested in a career in Extension.

We are also pleased to announced Megan Ruhn is this year’s recipient of the Eleanor Trindle Scholarship. Eleanor Trindle, a former Assistant State Leader of Home Economics Extension, had a deep affection for Home Economics students. She graduated from OSU in 1937 and taught Home Economics in Newport and Salem. This scholarship was established by the Oregon Extension Homemakers Council in 1972 in her honor and is awarded to a junior who has interest in Extension in Oregon. Congratulations Megan!
