Vice President Lombardi offers condolences on death of Lorna Breen ’92, M.B.A./M.S. ’21
It is with deep sadness that I share the news that Dr. Lorna Breen ’92, M.B.A./M.S. ’21 died on April 26 while at home with her family.
Lorna was a talented student enrolled in the Executive MBA/MS in Healthcare Leadership program. She also served as the Emergency Department Director of the Allen Hospital at Columbia University Medical Center. She was respected by her classmates and colleagues and will be greatly missed. On behalf of the Cornell community, I extend my sincere condolences to Lorna’s family, friends and faculty. Please keep them in your thoughts at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Ryan Lombardi
