We are excited to share this powerful article about our proud “Goretti Girl” Dr. Margaret Foti, class of ’62, whose journey from South Philadelphia to leading the American Association for Cancer Research as CEO is one of the most impactful in our school’s history.

The article captures the moment well: “Cancer research is at a crossroads — and leadership matters more than ever.” Dr. Foti’s leadership has helped guide the field forward, shaping the future of cancer science and giving hope to families around the world.

Her achievements are a clear message that our graduates can change the world. We hope her example empowers today’s Goretti Girls to follow in her footsteps and pursue careers in science, research, and medicine.
