Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the disease-fighting networks within the body. Victims of the disease have a 50-percent survival rate, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Andy Soll, vice chancellor of Business and Student Services, said even though Satz won't come back as a Provost when he gets healthy, he still has the ability to return as a professor or to assist the university through various means.
Satz emphasized his feeling of connection with the university, even in retirement.
"I'm a Blugold through and through," he said. "UW-EC and Eau Claire are an integral part of my life."
As a provost, Satz worked with numerous academic leaders to oversee a budget of more than $50 million and served as a leader to the various colleges on campus. He also supervised many academic support units, ranging from International Education and Admissions to Student Development and Diversity.
As he leaves the university, he said he will greatly miss the daily contact with students, faculty and the academic staff.
"I love this university," he said. "It has outstanding students, faculty and academic staff and, in my opinion, it has been blessed with fine leadership."
