The Dr. Mary Jean Yoder Memorial Endowment Fund is directed by a Committee within Mennonite Mission Network, and receives and disburses grants or self‑canceling loans for medical and paramedical training of national Christians in developing countries.
Established in 1990 by the Class of 1964 in celebration of the 25-year reunion of the class, this fund commemorates their classmate, Mary Jean Yoder, M.D., who exemplified the ideals of perseverance and service to others. Dr. Yoder was tragically killed in an automobile accident less than a week after graduation from Medical School ( the IU School of Medicine).
The Mary Jean Yoder AwardDr. Mary Jean Yoder was a Mennonite and a graduate of this school. In memory of her ideals, this award honors a graduating senior who exhibits high moral character, academic excellence, and, especially, dedication to service to others.
Her dream was to help people in dire need and in remote places like Nepal as a doctor.
