Carol Lemmon Olson Scholarship in Nursing
This scholarship was established in 2021 by Carol Olson. Carol spent a 36-year career as a nurse, working predominantly at Northside Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio. She rose to the role of Director of Critical Care and acting Vice President of Nursing. After growing up in Boardman, she graduated from Youngstown State University, earning both a Bachelor's (1976) and Master's (1989) degree. Carol and her husband Dan have lived most of their lives in Trumbull County.
