Holy Cross to name science complex after Dr. Anthony Fauci
New England Council member, College of the Holy Cross, is renaming its Integrated Science Complex after its alumni, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Fauci graduated from Holy Cross in 1962 and has since gone on to help guide top federal officials through the coronavirus pandemic. Now, he is serving as chief medical advisor to U.S. President Joe Biden.
Fauci was one of the lead members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force under then- President Donald Trump in the early days of the pandemic. He has served as an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan and has been director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984. The newly named Anthony S. Fauci Integrated Science Complex will officially be dedicated to the physician during his 60th Holy Cross class reunion weekend.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Dr. Fauci in such a public and enduring way,” said Holy Cross President Vincent Rougeau, in a written statement. “It’s fitting that Dr. Fauci’s name will adorn a complex designed to foster integrated learning across multiple academic disciplines – the kind of broad, collaborative and holistic thinking one needs to manage health crises such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola and Zika, or the current COVID-19 pandemic.”
The New England Council congratulates Holy Cross on being able to dedicate one of its buildings to its Alumni, Dr. Fauci, who is a leader in public health.
