This award honors Michael O’Malley, PhD, a leader in cancer prevention and control at UNC-Chapel Hill and across the nation. O’Malley served as the associate director of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center for more than 20 years. He also served as an adjunct associate professor of health policy and management at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health where he was a mentor for countless students over the years.
O’Malley’s kindness and infectious smile spread warmth throughout the entire cancer center. An exceptional leader, many knew him as a great “connector,” and he was beloved by everyone he connected with at Carolina. Visit the Michael O’Malley memorial page to learn more.
