President's Message

Timothy Dresselhaus, MD, MPH, Clinical Professor Emeritus, School of Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

With gratitude to last-year’s president, Dick Madsen, immediate past-president Barbara Parker, and secretary-treasurer David Guss, it is my privilege to move forward with our new leadership team in continued support of the Emeriti Association’s vision and mission, welcoming Debbie Spector as vice president and Mandy Butler as secretary-treasurer. In this work, we are helped by an outstanding Executive Committee, whose engagement and guidance are invaluable to our shared purpose.

Academic year 2026-2027 will entail significant change for our Association, as we seek 501(c)(7) status and anticipate reorganization—along with the Retirement Association—in relationship to the University and the Retirement Resource Center.

I look forward to a year in which the Emeriti Association flourishes in expressions of community fellowship, campus engagement, and scholarly contributions to our University.

Timothy Dresselhaus
