Graduation
Graduation from the UTMB SBB program is a special
occasion. Graduation is held in conjunction with the L. Jean Stubbins
Memorial Lectureship. So we have a special guest each year that gets to
participate in the fun as well as graduate the students from the year long
program. There is a big dinner party with fun activities for the
staff, lecturers and special invited guests.
Who was L. Jean Stubbins?
 L.
Jean Stubbins was born September 22, 1917 in Michigan. She attended the University of Illinois and received her
blood bank training at the Michael Reese Hospital School of medical Technology.
When the John Sealy Hospital Blood Bank was first established in 1943,
Miss Stubbins was invited to become its first technical director.
Blood
banking at that time was still in its infancy.
The Rh factor was discovered only a few years earlier and systems other
than ABO and Rh were largely unknown. Because
of her entrance into the field at that particular time and because of her
determination, leadership and talent, Ms. Stubbins could be considered a true
pioneer of the profession.
During her
tenure at UTMB, she was organizer or charter member of virtually every blood
banking organization in Texas and the nation.
For instance, as a result of the Texas City Disaster in 1947, the
American Association of Blood Banks was formed. She served on several committees of that organization as well
as on the editorial board. She was
instrumental in formulating requirements for the Specialist in Blood Banking
training. The UTMB Blood Banking
Program was one of the first such schools accredited in 1954.
From 1948 to 1969, Stubbins was coordinator of the UTMB School of Medical
Technology. She also was active in
the local chapter of Texas Society for Medical Technologists.
She
contributed in other areas as well, such as being one of the founders of the
UTMB credit union, instituting the Central Supply Department and designing the
"new" Blood Bank facility, which was considered advanced in 1960.
Miss
Stubbins retired in 1971 after 28 years at UTMB. The last several years of her life she lived at the Moody
House. Even there, she put her
administrative talents to use as President of the Resident Association.
She passed away in March of 1983 at the age of 66.
