As another year passes and we move into 2007, the Weill Cornell community can look back on the past year and be proud of our accomplishments. We continue to train some of the brightest medical students in the country, as our incoming classes grow in number each year. Our facilities have also grown and improved: In January we will open the new Ambulatory Care and Medical Education Building and renovations continue to increase laboratory space for our research enterprise. We opened a new capital campaign with Cornell University in Ithaca, one of the largest in the history of higher education, on the heels of successfully completing our own capital campaign, "Advancing the Clinical Mission," ahead of schedule.
As we look forward to 2007, let us be grateful for our many blessings, remember those who are suffering or are in need, and rededicate ourselves to achieving our highest goals.
Wishing you health, happiness and peace in this holiday season,
Dr. Antonio M. Gotto Jr.
Dean and Provost for Medical Affairs
