Thomas J. Reinfold graduated from West Liberty State College with a B.S. in Business Administration in 1970. Eileen M. Reinbold attended West Liberty State College as an art and journalism major. Eileen and Tom, both from Pittsburg, met at West Liberty in 1969. They have been married for over 40 years and have two sons, Douglas and Matthew.
Unable to finish her art degree, Eileen had a deep love and appreciation of art, design, and journalism. When the computer age arrived in home offices, she dedicated to learning about graphic design. Self-taught, she has made her living in the graphic design field.
This scholarship is created in celebration of Eileen’s “finding her dream” with a career in graphic design.
