This honor is very meaningful to me, particularly due to then relative newness of my role. I appreciate the time my colleagues put into this nomination and look forward to the next challenges in my role as dean.

We are elated to send these 295 graduates out to change lives, to make a difference, and to heal. A very proud day for the UVA School of Medicine and for me personally.
