He will be missed. Charles is a highly visible and celebrated scholar – a focused investigator, an impactful mentor, and a foundation leader. He is a true public scholar, and I’ve admired his laser focus on eliminating colorectal cancer. He will be missed here, but I can’t wait to see what he accomplishes in Milwaukee.”
