In an email sent to all campus employees on Monday, CSUDH President Thomas Parham announced he has been diagnosed with cancer. 

“This medical challenge will demand my attention while I continue to provide leadership and manage the affairs of this university,” Parham wrote in the email. “Please know that I have a hopeful prognosis, excellent medical care, a strong body and mind, loving family and friend support, an enlivened and positive spirit, unwavering faith, and a commitment to confront this challenge with every fiber of my being.”

At the March 20 Academic Senate meeting, Parham said, “I am well. I am doing fine…My spirt is strong.”
