Medical students and faculty are putting on a show

The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine will celebrate 10 years of the IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund with the annual IvaDean Scholarship Benefit Concert at 7 p.m. tonight, Dec. 6, in the Medical Sciences Buildings Kresge Auditorium, 231 Albert Sabin Way.

The event will feature musical performances from UC College of Medicine faculty, staff, alumni and students. It supportsthe IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund for medical students in need of financial assistance. A silent auction, also benefiting the fund, will begin at 5:30 p.m.

The fund is after assistant dean and medical registrar IvaDean Lair, and was created by the outgoing medical class of 2003 as a way to honor Lairs decades of service to the college and provide relief to students burdened by the escalating costs of medical school tuition.

More than $1.8 million has been raised for the fund, with $447,500 awarded to 82 students in scholarships. Students are awarded scholarships based solely on financial need.

The concert is open to the public. Tickets are $5 for students and children and $15 for adults, and can be purchased at the door (cash or check). All event proceeds will directly support the IvaDean Medical Student Scholarship Fund. For more information, call 513- 558-5577.
