ARLG primary investigator, Thomas L. Holland, MD, is being honored alongside Cameron R. Wolfe, MBBS, and the Division of Infectious Diseases, all with Duke University Hospital, to receive the Presidential Award. Holland, Wolfe, and members of their team were nominated for the award in recognition of their leadership and service efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Presidential Awards represent Duke University’s highest honor and are granted each year to select staff and faculty who personify Duke’s values and legacy. Holland is being recognized for his work leading the COVID-19 in-patient clinical teams and keeping infectious diseases colleagues informed of important COVID-19 challenges. Wolfe led Duke’s Biological and Emergency Preparedness team and served as a Chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group. Their unflagging dedication and effort also included work in community outreach, vaccine development, and infection prevention.
This year’s awards will be presented by Duke University President Vincent Price during a virtual ceremony on April 14. We extend our congratulations to Drs. Holland, Wolfe, and all of the honorees.
