Update on Professor Bill Bicknell
At the request of Dr. Bill Bicknell, please find an update about his current health status below:
While undergoing an unrelated diagnostic procedure, a small tumor was found on Bill’s brain. He has elected to have surgery immediately and the procedure will occur on Friday. Professor Bicknell is expecting to be hospitalized about a week, and then will undergo some targeted radiation treatment. The odds are very good for successful removal of the tumor and full recovery. However, Bill is likely to be out for the rest of the semester. Any of his advisees who have an immediate question should see Emily or Joe.
Bill is optimistic that he will be able to assume full-time teaching duties for the Spring semester, including IH 704. In case his recovery is delayed, we are making alternative plans to cover IH 704 in the Spring.
Dr. Bicknell has set up a website for family, friends, faculty, staff and students, who would like an update on his condition: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/billbicknell
Please join us in wishing Dr. Bicknell a full and speedy recovery.
