That is our mission moving forward. It’s the underlying reason why we work so hard.” – William L. Henrich, MD, MACP

Dr. Henrich is the most compassionate man that I have seen. He treated everyone with same respect, dignity and empathy. He embodied our motto "we make live better." He knows employees at the university by name and cared for them. His message on the eve of Covid pandemic was so reassuring to many of us and uplifted all of us to face the challenge head-on. His dedication to his people at the university is unparalleled and remarkable. During the most difficult financial situation during Covid, his goal is to not lay off a single person and he was able to achieve his goal is a testament to his leadership quality and his empathy for his fellow human beings. We will miss him and there will never be another President at this university like him. His infectious smile disarmed everyone and he became a friend with his smile and compassion. On behalf of my lab team and myself, my deepest condolences to his family.
