Making Rockefeller my new home

I am honored and delighted to be joining the university on March 16. The past six months have been a busy and exciting period of preparation — for my family and my lab as well as for me personally — as we planned our move to New York. Over these months I have had the opportunity to meet many of the faculty, students, administration and staff, and the excitement I felt on my appointment as president has only grown during that time.

On Monday, March 21, I will hold a town hall meeting for all members of the campus community at 3 p.m. in Caspary Auditorium to discuss my initial priorities, to answer any and all questions you might have, and to set the stage for the strategic planning we will be embarking on collectively in subsequent months.

I very much look forward to meeting many more of the community in the near future, and to becoming part of the university, making it my home both personally and professionally.
