Musson Veterans Lounge Endowed Fund
The Musson Veterans Lounge Endowed Fund was established by The R.C. Musson and Katharine M. Musson Charitable Foundation for the purpose of providing funds for the upkeep and maintenance of The Musson Veterans Lounge, located in InfoCision Stadium on The University of Akron campus. Earnings from the endowment will be available for use at the discretion of the Advisor of the Military Veterans Association, in consultation with the Office for Student Engagement and Success, to provide annual monies for the upkeep and maintenance of The Musson Veterans Lounge. First consideration for use of the funds is to maintain the physical appearance of the space.
The R.C. Musson and Katharine M. Musson Charitable Foundation was established in 1987 by Robert C. Musson and his wife Katharine. Mr. Musson was the grandson Harriett Buchtel Musson, sister of University of Akron founder John R. Buchtel. The Musson Foundation has supported numerous important initiatives at The University of Akron since 1989, including the establishment of The Robert C. Musson Eminent Scholar Chair in Polymer Science, as well as scholarships in the College of Business Administration and the College of Nursing. The Foundation has also supported projects in Business Administration, Nursing, E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall, and the former College of Fine & Applied Arts.
