Who Was Pat Maloy?

Bernard Patrick "Pat" Maloy, died Nov. 28, 2001 with his family at his bedside after a courageous battle with cancer.

In 1986, he became assistant professor at U of M Kinesiology, Department of Sports Management and Communication. In 1993, he was promoted to associate professor, teaching courses in the legal aspects of sport and facility management.

Pat loved teaching and promoted excellence in analytic and writing skills. He was known as a caring professor, who challenged his students and took great care in evaluating their work. According to Maloy, the students were more challenging than any jury he ever faced.

Pat began his career with a law practice in North Judson, IN, but he returned to graduate school several years later to study sports administration. Upon graduation, he took a corporate management job with MDS Qantel, a computer company specializing in dealings with teams in the National Football League, National Basketball Association and several universities.

“He resigned his post as professor only after the cancer had spread to his lungs and the oxygen that he needed to survive conflicted with his lecturing abilities. On his final day, he was still attempting to grade our midterms because he felt sincerely bad they had not been passed back yet.”

-- Rick Mestdagh,
One of Maloy's former Kinesiology students
The Michigan Daily, November 2001

“He was the happiest person at this university for 15 years — he loved his job and he loved his students.”

-- Nora Maloy,
The Michigan Daily, November 2001

How Much Does It Take to Endow This Scholarship?

$400,000. An outstanding group of alumni have come together to raise $400,000 to fully endow this recruiting scholarship for Kinesiology in honor of Professor Maloy. The scholarship will provide a first year need-based student, with preference given to a student who has been touched by cancer, a four-year $5,000 scholarship. Because this scholarship is a need-based award, President Mary Sue Coleman has generously made available a dollar-for-dollar match for all gifts to this fund. To earn the $5,000 (in interest annually) the committee needs $100,000 in the endowment account. To award the four-year scholarship every year to a new incoming student, the committee needs $400,000 in the account. While this is an ambitious goal, it is obtainable with your help. Having this scholarship will honor Pat Maloy, a man who after leaving this earth in 2001 still inspires greatness in his former students, family and friends, and it will create the first recruiting scholarship for Kinesiology students. Imagine the relief of a student when they learn they can take out $20,000 less each year in student loans because of this scholarship.

Additionally, this deserving student will have been touched by cancer. A diagnosis of cancer impacts the whole family. Cancer patients and their families must accept the diagnosis, suffer through difficult treatments, and face an uncertain future. From the day of diagnosis, no family member's life is quite the same. For young adults going off to college, a diagnosis of cancer for either themselves or a family member is especially emotionally traumatic. Besides the psychological concern, new college students may likely deal with the physical side effects of treatment and be unable to earn funds for tuition and expenses. Join the auction vice-chairs and support this outstanding scholarship. Please note: This fund constitutes a gift for endowment, and distributions will be made in accordance with the University's then existing endowment distribution policy. Any surplus distributions from the Fund during any period may be accumulated for later use for the above purposes or may be added to the principal of the fund at the University's discretion.
