The UM Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer
Center’s physician-scientists are on the forefront of the treatment
and diagnosis of cancer. They invented GammaPod™, irradiating
early stage breast cancer more quickly and less invasively, and
aromatase inhibitors. They are the nation’s first to disrupt the
blood-brain barrier to offer improved brain tumor treatment. As
national leaders in advancing CAR-T immunotherapy, they equip
patients’ own cells with the healing power to destroy cancer. And
they invent new drugs, like galeterone, shown to significantly slow
the advancement of prostate cancer and now being investigated as
a new treatment for pancreatic cancer.

A s we head into Autumn our nation is still far from the end of the challenges that have con-
fronted us this year. Many segments across the country have experienced setbacks. However,
we can see a bright light at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We continue
to make progress on some of our highest-level goals. This is largely due to our extraordinary
faculty and staff who have invested their lives’ work in our mission.
With the recent passing of three longstanding, prominent luminaries, our community
is grieving the loss of exceptional talent, distinguished character, and significant contribu-
tions toward a better institution, a better state, and a better nation. I am personally grieving
the loss of irreplaceable friends and true confidants. Reflecting on the lives and careers of

the decision to take its interview process 100 percent
online for the 2021 cycle. The change comes as the
office of admissions, under new leadership, also seeks
to increase class diversity.
Sandra M. Quezada, ’06, is the associate dean for
admissions, a position she undertook in 2018 after the
retirement of the late Milford “Mickey” Foxwell, Jr.,
