John and Mary Lou Dasburg Announce $1.5 Million
Gift to FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine
John and Mary Lou Dasburg announced a $1.5 million gift to create an endowed chair
in FIU’s Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM). In recognition of this gift,
the university will name the chair as the John and Mary Lou Dasburg Chair in Medicine.
The gift was announced at the college’s biennial fundraising Sapphire Gala. Net proceeds
from the event benefit FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine providing medical stu-
dent scholarships and much needed support for 21st century medical education and
training. “Our Sapphire Gala celebrates the successes and aspirations of our Herbert
Wertheim College of Medicine, which is focused on educating culturally-sensitive doc-
tors,” said FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg. “The Dasburg’s generosity will allow us to
leverage the expertise of top doctors in their field and help us educate the next genera-
tion of medical professionals.”
John A. Rock, the founding dean and senior vice president for Health Affairs, who
recently announced his intention to step down from the deanship, will become the first
recipient of the John and Mary Lou Dasburg Chair in Medicine.
“Dr. Rock exemplifies the qualities of a great and caring physician,” said John Dasburg,
whose daughter, Kathryn, recently graduated from HWCOM. “Our family is proud that
the Provost selected Dean Rock to be the first person to hold this chair and look forward
to supporting the important work that the college does in educating future doctors and
serving the community.” After the passing of their oldest daughter in a school bus acci-
dent in 1988, the Dasburgs committed to supporting education in her name through the
Meredyth Anne Dasburg Foundation. Through the foundation and personally, the
Dasburgs support the Miami Book Fair's children literacy programs, the Health
Information Project, Seraphic Fire, and the New World Symphony. They also have a son,
John Peter, a Miami attorney. The Dasburgs are generous donors and members of the
Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Dean’s Circle. They have supported the Sapphire
Gala for several years and this year co-chaired the event. John Dasburg is chairman and
CEO of ASTAR Air Cargo. He has held executive positions with Burger King, Northwest
Airlines, Marriott Corp., and KPMG.
