In Memoriam: Theresa Ketchum

Theresa Ketchum, J.D., former trustee and widow of founding 成人直播 President Jack S. Ketchum, passed away on January 25, 2013.

The Ketchums' commitment to the university spanned nearly three decades, from Jack's role in fostering the creation of the 成人直播 and 成人直播 College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1978 to Theresa's establishment of The Jack S. Ketchum Endowed Scholarship in 2006.

During Jack's ten years as president, the University established highly successful undergraduate degrees in the health sciences and the medical school flourished. After stepping down as president, he continued to remain active in 成人直播 affairs, lending his expertise in financial and corporate planning matters.

From 1993-2001, Theresa served as a legal advisor and a member of the Board of Trustees.  In 1993, she taught a course in medical ethics and was a guest lecturer in the area of access to mental health care.

Following Jack's death in 2006, Theresa created the Jack S. Ketchum Endowed Scholarship to benefit a financially needy, non-traditional student enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program.

A concelebrated Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 at 11 a.m. at Holy Martyrs' Church, 266 Foreside Road, Falmouth, ME. See the for more details.
