2022 ASBMB Election

BARBOUR, Suzanne

Professor and dean of The Graduate School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Suzanne Barbour

Statement of interest

I am grateful to have served on the ASBMB Council for one term and would love to serve another term. During my first term, I have learned more about our society, its challenges and opportunities. I am particularly intrigued by an opportunity that was discussed at a recent Council meeting: pursuing philanthropic support for the ASBMB. My experience as a dean, working with alumni, friends and prospective donors, will be helpful for this effort.

I am also excited about the new concept of Council liaisons and look forward to serving as liaison to the Public Affairs Advisory Committee. In that role, I will leverage my experience with advocacy for graduate education in the state of North Carolina to help the committee.

Finally, I was a member of the Minority Affairs Committee (now Maximizing Access Committee) for many years and hope to continue engaging with and supporting their important work.

For these reasons, I am running for a second term on ASBMB Council. I hope you will support me.
