Dean's Messages

In the spirit of this season, I want our community to know just how grateful I am for your commitment. The power to change medicine belongs to our staff, faculty, clinicians, researchers, trainees and students who advance our critical missions every day. We are also thankful for our donors and our community partners whose generous support challenges us continually to strive for more. Together, my hope is that we leverage what we have built this year to accelerate our progress into the next year, and beyond.

I am honored and excited to write to you today as the new dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. I feel fortunate to serve alongside some of the brightest minds and most dedicated professionals on the forefront of patient care, scientific discovery and education, and with such a talented administrative staff.

Thank you for being a valuable part of our community and for your support as I transition into this role. As I serve, I am looking to cultivate and deepen relationships, empower leadership, and build upon the cultural fabric of our institution, where everyone feels a sense of purpose in our work and a sense of belonging in our interactions. 

This time of year always inspires reflection on the past and excitement for new beginnings to come.
