Debbie Whittemore Memorial Scholarship Award
This scholarship is presented by Stony Brook University in memory of Debbie Whittemore, former Athletic Training Student and Intramural Program Employee. She was an exceptional student during her college years, 1987 to 1994, as well as a committed intramural employee and dedicated student athletic trainer. Tragically, we lost Debbie during the summer of 1994 in a senseless car crash, as she was yet another victim of a drunken driver. She has left us far too soon. For those of us that knew her, it is an inconceivable and devastating loss. Just two days before her death, she began her career as a nurse at Stony Brook University Hospital. She would have been a wonderful nurse because of her selflessness and concern for others. Although Debbie is no longer with us in body, she will forever be with us in spirit and memory. In order to honor her and never let her be forgotten, we have established the Debbie Whittemore Endowed Scholarship Fund. It is exactly what she would have wanted, to provide opportunities for students to receive an education and go on to lead productive and fulfilling lives. The Debbie Whittemore Scholarship will be awarded annually to two (2) Undergraduate Students who display outstanding academic excellence and have made significant contributions to student life and athletics on the campus and within the community.
Each year a 5K Run is held in Debbie's memory, with the proceeds going to the scholarship fund. This year's run will be held on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
