John Carroll University has received $1 million from Medical Mutual of Ohio in support of the University’s
Forever Carroll Campaign. The grant will be known as
The Medical Mutual Opportunity Fund, which enhances the development of the University’s Pre-Health Professions Program for John Carroll students.
