Dr. Schuyler Eaton Cone earned her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics in 1977. After a year teaching on the Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Southeast Montana, Dr. Cone returned to Athens, Ohio to pursue her master’s degree. She earned her Master of Science in Home Economics Education and Clothing Textiles in 1986. Dr. Cone began teaching in 1989 and retired in 2014. Her grandmothers, Margaret Cone and Carol Eaton, inspired her to pursue academics. One of Dr. Cone’s favorite quotes is, “Be excellent to each other.”

 

In Ohio University’s Patton College of Education, students become the architects of their own futures. Students build individual portfolios highlighting their knowledge and skills gained through leadership and applied experiences.

  • All gifts to this current-use fund are eligible for a dollar-for-dollar match through June 30, 2021, as part of Ohio University’s Current-Use Scholarship Program.
  • The program doubles the impact of gifts made to eligible current-use scholarships by amplifying every dollar of donor funds with $1 in funds from the University’s unrestricted financial aid budget.
  • This will provide immediate financial help to undergraduate students in the OHIO community. This means your $25 becomes $50, and your $500 becomes $1,000.

Give now to support a student in The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education.
