Honoring the Life of Grace Nolan

The Oakland University and Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine community mourn the loss of Grace Nolan, Class of 2029, who passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 17.

Grace was a scholar athlete at Oakland University and a second-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine.

At OU, she earned a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science and a Master of Public Health, and excelled both on the cross country course and in the classroom.

At OUWB, Grace was involved in student organizations and committees as well as peer tutoring.

More than anything, she embodied the spirit of OUWB, possessing a desire to serve her future patients with compassion and kindness.

The university has established two scholarship funds to honor Grace’s remarkable life.

Give Now

Guided by a vision to transform medical education and prepare a new kind of physician, Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine views the world a little differently. Our notion of the ideal student is distinctive. And the way we prepare the doctors of tomorrow stands apart. This is the luxury we have—and the mandate we embrace—as a new school, unencumbered by long-held traditions, driven by the changing landscape of medicine and patient care. OUWB-trained physicians will see patients as “individuals in need,” not as “sources of data” or “problems to be solved.”
