About Sallie P. Asche
Sallie Asche was one of CVL’s very first supporters. She was a founding member of the Center’s Advisory Council and a close friend of both Mary Susan Barnhill, who played a role in the development of CVL, and Denise Park, the CVL’s founding director.
Sallie cared immensely about making the world a better place, supporting the sciences, and understanding how scientists, through research, could learn to cure disease. Sallie will forever be a part of the advances CVL scientists are making.
