CU-Boulder Chancellor Richard L. Byyny, who also is a professor of medicine at the CU Health Sciences Center in Denver, will give a talk titled "Cancer: Perspectives of a Physician" on Tuesday, May 12 at the Boulder Public Library.
The event is in memory of Professor Emeritus Gary Stahl of CU-Boulder's philosophy department, who died of complications from cancer on March 11. A bench donated by CU-Boulder with a plaque commemorating Stahl's commitment to the university and community will be dedicated at the event.
