Colleagues,
I have recently learned of the death of Cheryl Samuels, who served as Ä¢¹½tv's provost and vice president for Academic Affairs from March 2006 to June 2008. She died March 23, following a five-year battle with ovarian cancer.
While I did not have the honor of knowing Dr. Samuels, I have been told that, although her tenure at Ä¢¹½tv was short, she was a valued contributor and colleague.
In addition to her husband, Jeff, she is survived by her daughter, Courtney; her son, Blair; her parents, Richard and Wanda Troy, of Toledo, Ohio; and two sisters.
Her family has suggested that anyone wishing to remember Dr. Samuels make a donation to the charity of his or her choice in Dr. Samuels's name.
Those who wish to send condolences to her family may do so at the following address:
104 King Farm Boulevard, Apt. C-201
Rockville, MD 20850
An .
Sincerely,
Michael A. Driscoll
President, Ä¢¹½tv
