CANCER: IS THERE A HIGHER CALLING?
Few people know the wide variety of careers available to those who may
be interested in working in the field of cancer. It’s not just
doctors and researchers! Knight Cancer Institute scientists will share
their experiences, discuss their work, and talk about the ways we
mentor and develop young people so they can be a part of the effort to
end cancer as we know it. When Phil Knight challenged OHSU to raise a
billion dollars for cancer research, he asked: “Is there a higher
calling than curing cancer?” We think not, and we think you might be
surprised at how many different perspectives we need in this fight.
