LAST YEAR<\/strong>, John Baron and Larry Baer established the Stephanie Baron Memorial Health Professions Scholarship in honor of John\u2019s wife and Larry\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie Baron is still remembered on campus as a cherished student adviser whose career was marked by her passion for helping others. She held various roles in higher education before moving to Bothell in 2014, when she joined UW Bothell as a student adviser in the School of Nursing & Health Studies, a role she valued deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advisers play a crucial role in helping students navigate their academic and personal lives. They provide guidance and support on a wide range of topics, including course selection, academic progress, career planning and personal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Clay Schwenn, the school\u2019s director of academic services, recalled, \u201cStephanie was deeply interested in the students she worked with. She always wanted them to get the most out of the institution and achieve at the highest levels. Her optimism and ability to find the silver lining in any situation were truly inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baron was diagnosed with terminal cancer in June 2020. Despite her diagnosis, she maintained a positive outlook and continued to be a source of strength and inspiration for her family and friends. She passed away in 2022, yet her legacy lives on through the new scholarship and the memories of her community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it came to honoring Baron, her husband, John, felt an endowment for students drawn to health care was a perfect opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStephanie was an exceptional person who devoted her life to helping others,\u201d he said. \u201cShe believed that students with a passion for health care should not be held back by financial constraints. This scholarship is a way to honor her commitment to guiding and supporting students in fulfilling their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer connections were personal and left a mark,\u201d he added. \u201cWhen she was gone, there was a gap. The scholarship helps fill that gap and continues her legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
