With the pending transition of Dr. Norman Beauchamp to Georgetown University as its executive vice president of Health Sciences, I write today with updates on the structure at MSU to support our excellent and rising focus on our leadership in health science.

It has been a night of extreme tragedy on our campus and within the greater community. While sadness overwhelms, we are actively working across the university to coordinate efforts to respond and provide support to those who need it.

Our community continues to grieve following the violence on our campus.For all the love and care you have so generously demonstrated these past few days, thank you.

As a father, health care leader, professor, provider, researcher, and an alum of this great university, I continue to join in your grief and am forever changed by the past two weeks. Our support is with the family and loved ones of those lost and critically injured. I pray for healing, and the persistence and strength of the health care professionals who continue to care for our students.

I am pleased to announce my recommendation of Joyce deJong (pronounced dee-young), D.O., for the position of Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. deJong’s appointment is subject to approval by the MSU Board of Trustees during its next regularly scheduled meeting in December.
