James and Helen Wasco have a unique, yet impactful method of supporting Michigan Athletics and its student-athletes. Not only are they long-time donors, but Dr. Wasco also serves student-athletes in another capacity as a volunteer, working alongside the Michigan Athletics Career Center (MACC) to form 'The Doctor Is In' program. This group advises student-athletes about career choices in the medical and health care fields, as well as navigating the complicated process of application and admission to medical school.
