Ashley Hill \u201986 sent away for a brochure about Eckerd College. The waterfront and sunny campus looked good to him after 44 straight days of rain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His dorm room phone rang one day, and on the other end of the line was John Reynolds, an Eckerd biology<\/a> professor. Reynolds wanted to know what Eckerd could do to convince him to transfer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly could not believe a professor was taking the time to phone me,\u201d Ashley said.<\/p>\n

With a financial aid package in place that made it possible for him to attend, Hill made the switch. Nearly 40 years later as an OB\/GYN, medical director and Eckerd trustee<\/a>, Ashley says serving the College with his time and his resources is the least he can do for the place that left its imprint on everything he does.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”3599″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”3597″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Ashley Hill at the 2013 Alumni Awards ceremony, where he received the William H.

A native of Albany, Oregon\u2014a town of 20,000\u2014he said the College environment felt cosmopolitan. He joined the biology club, served as an RA, and started a charity for kids with cancer.<\/p>\n

He became close with Professor Reynolds, who encouraged him in the classroom and sent him lunch and dinner after he missed class due to illness. Ashley even joined Reynolds on a research project on manatee kidneys, finding that manatees were able to adapt to live in saltwater for long periods. He credits that research for helping him stand out in the medical school interview process.<\/p>\n

Accepted to med school at the University of South Florida, he brought the spirit of discussion and group learning that he had gained at Eckerd, creating a study group with his classmates.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther students went, \u2018Why are we doing this, you’re my competition,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI said, \u2018No, we’re all in this together.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, he says he uses that same philosophy in building highly effective teams, a talent that has proved valuable within Orlando\u2019s AdventHealth Medical Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a lot of that at Eckerd: collaboration and listening to people from diverse backgrounds,\u201d he says. \u201cEveryone has value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley has made it a priority to give back to Eckerd, supporting various causes and scholarships\u2014including the John E. Reynolds annual and endowed scholarships. In 2011, wanting to make a difference in the lives of students like him, he established the Hill Family Endowed Scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be able to put something more tangible on the table to help other students and to help the College,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

One particular memory stands out: while attending an on-campus event in 2013, he had a chance to meet the student receiving his family scholarship, Samantha Hilton \u201917.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”3598″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][vc_column_text]Ashley during his time at Eckerd<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Samantha, a psychology<\/a> major from the Orlando area who now works at Eckerd as a residence coordinator, says when she received the scholarship, she thought the Hill name sounded familiar.
