The establishment of a professorship represents a significant step in Dr. Lisco’s enduring dedication to global health, replacing a previous fund he created with the same focus. “Named endowments allow you to give a gift that will be forever impactful to the mission of the department,” Dr. Lisco said. “It’s a really nice way for me to give back to the department that gave me the opportunity to lead them for nearly 12 years.”
