A familiar face to fans and student-athletes alike is that of Dr. Larry Baylis. A proud supporter of Oakland University athletics and former member of the board of directors of the Oakland University Alumni Association, Dr. Baylis has been a fixture at OU games for several years.
A self-described "basketball junkie," Baylis played basketball at Clarkston High School, playing on a state semifinalist team.
Most recently, he has served on the board of directors for the Clarkston Foundation, helping Clarkston students in the arts and sciences. He provides sports physicalsfor Clarkston High School students and members of the Clarkston Chiefs football organization, and is a proud sponsor to many local charities.
Baylis donated an annual scholarship called the "ShelMar" scholarship, named after his father, Shelby, and his mother, Maria, who believed that education was everything. The scholarship is awarded annually to a Clarkston High School graduate.
An OU graduate with a bachelor's degree in environmental health, Baylis received his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. He has practiced family medicine in Clarkston for several years, and resides there with his wife, Liza, and their three children, Lexi, Olivia, and Luke.
