“I am so grateful that Dr. Small will lead the college in its mission to transform the health of individuals and communities,” said Beauchamp. “I am truly thankful to the search committee and everyone who took part in the process by attending focus groups, listening sessions and interviews, and by giving their time and feedback. I am also grateful to the search committee co-chairs for their commitment to the inclusion of the college community in this process.”
