UC President Janet Napolitano appointed UCSF School of Medicine Dean Sam Hawgood, MBBS, to serve as interim chancellor after Susan Desmond-Hellmann, MD, MPH, announced that she would step down as chancellor at the end of March, to become CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
UCSF is now engaged in a national search for a new chancellor to lead the University.
UCSF’s Daniel Lowenstein, MD, who chairs the faculty subcommittee, wants to give members of the campus community an opportunity to be heard.
“We are eager to learn from faculty, staff, and students as we seek to find the most qualified person to serve as our leader in the years ahead,” said Lowenstein, professor and vice chair of the Department of Neurology in the UCSF School of Medicine.
