Ohio University alumnus Steve Snyder has been awarded the 2021 Konneker Medal for Commercialization and Entrepreneurship.
The CEO of 21st Century HealthCare, Snyder is a 1981 graduate of the Ohio University College of Business.
The Ohio University Foundation established the Konneker Medal for Commercialization and Entrepreneurship to recognize current and former faculty members or students who have demonstrated excellence in innovation, invention, commercialization and entrepreneurship. The award is named in honor of Wilfred Konneker, an OHIO alumnus with a distinguished record in research and entrepreneurship.
“I am extremely honored and humbled to be recognized by Ohio University with this award,” Snyder said.
After earning his accounting degree from OHIO, Snyder first went to work for Deloitte (formerly Touche Ross in Columbus). In 1991, he used his knowledge, experience and entrepreneurship in founding a startup in the healthcare world. He also served as the only employee and sole proprietor.
“I started 21st Century HealthCare with as much energy and enthusiasm one has as a freshman on a Friday evening on Court Street! I have such fond memories from my four years at Ohio University, as I do over my 30 years of growth and success at 21st Century,” Snyder said. “As one ages and reflects, I feel very blessed to share my story with others from OU and perhaps give some encouragement to the next generation of entrepreneurs.”
