IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund
Generations of medical students at the University of Cincinnati have one special thing in common—a woman who has worked in the Dean’s Office for more than 50 years, making sure “her kids” were taken care of as they studied to become physicians.
The College of Medicine Class of 2003 used its class gift to start the IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund as a tribute to this woman’s profound influence on medical students as an advisor, advocate and confidante. The scholarship honors IvaDean Lair, registrar of the College of Medicine, and her role as “the person who has contributed the most to making medical school manageable,” according to the medical students she assists.
