With mixed emotions, I announce my departure from UAB to become president and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Sept. I am grateful to have been part of this UAB family, and leave behind an outstanding community of clinicians, researchers, students, and staff.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She spent her life pioneering justice and equity. "To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That's what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself, but for one's community."

Yesterday, America lost a great leader and a true American patriot for justice. Thank you, John Lewis, for your strength, integrity, and determination.
