Grosse Pointe residents Judy and Rick Rutan,
along with friends and family, donated more
than $73,000 to the Eugene Applebaum College
of Pharmacy and Health
Sciences at Wayne State University.
The funds were donated in memory of their
daughter, Lara M. Rutan, to start a
scholarship fund.
"Lara was an outstanding student and role
model for her peers and those in her
profession," said Dean Beverly J. Schmoll in
accepting the donation. "Through this
scholarship fund, she will continue to lead,
encourage and assist numerous physician
assistant studies students in attaining
their educational goals."
President of her class, Rutan earned a
Master of Science degree in the physical
assistant studies program in May 2005.
Two days after taking the state boards and one month following her engagement to be married, her life was taken by a drunk driver in September 2005.
The Lara M. Rutan, MS, PAC-C Endowed Scholarship Fund is the only endowed scholarship for the physician assistant studies program at the college.
The fund has two components. The first is an endowed scholarship fund to recognize scholastic achievement and provide financial assistance to students in the college's physician assistant studies program.
The second component is an "emergency loan fund" to help PAS students with unplanned or
unforeseen emergency expenses, such as overdue rent, auto repairs, day care expenses, and more. |
