Kean alumna Marian R. Stuart, Ph.D., has given Kean a transformative gift that will have a lasting impact on medical education at the University. An author, speaker, psychotherapist and renowned medical educator, Dr. Stuart began her studies at Kean and earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology, reflecting her longstanding, deep interest in that field. She went on to receive her master’s degree and doctorate in social psychology at Rutgers University, working as a clinician at the Mental Health Center, and qualifying for a license as a practicing psychologist.

Dr. Stuart, Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine and Community Health at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, credits her time at Kean with giving her a solid foundation for a successful career as a medical educator. In her 30-year career at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Dr. Stuart headed the Behavioral Health Program for the Department of Family Medicine. She carved out a unique role as a psychologist working alongside medical doctors, teaching the art of effectively integrating mental and physical health practices. She was elected as an Honorary Member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, an extraordinary achievement for a psychologist.
