Dr. Lisa Drabinowicz Center
Dr. Richard Biagioni has been a chemistry professor at MSU since 1989. He named the Dr. Lisa Drabinowicz Center in honor of his late wife. Drabinowicz served at the MSU health center from 1990 until Oct. 15, 1994, when she was killed in a car crash by a drunken driver. Drabinowicz initiated the first women’s clinic at the MSU Health Center.
