My Story
"Helping someone who is worthy and needs financial assistance is a win-win for the students, faculty and staff, as well as for me.
As a former professor and interim chair of the Medical Laboratory Sciences program, I taught many students who endured financial hardships to attend college. I watched them persevere and overcome obstacles to achieve their dreams of becoming successful health
professionals.
Often, students are not only enrolled in school full time, but they also have families and other financial commitments. It makes me feel good to know that the Student Assistance Fund I started provides emergency assistance to help Medical Laboratory Sciences and
Cytotechnology students in their time of need.
Since my retirement, I’ve volunteered in microbiology labs at UAMS. This helps me stay connected with the students, faculty and staff in the College. As a volunteer, I saw an additional opportunity to help
faculty and staff grow professionally, so I established a Faculty and Staff Professional Development Fund through a planned gift.
I’m also able to honor the memory of my husband, Gordon Bartelt, through the establishment of these endowments. It’s so rewarding to know that students, faculty and staff will benefit for years to come. I encourage others to give whenever possible."
