“I’m humbled and honored for the recognition. In my job, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by some very talented people who do the heavy lifting,” Henvey said. “It’s been amazing to watch what Dr. Brooks and his team have done in health sciences in the last decade in northeast Indiana. I’m excited for what Trine will do moving ahead.”
