In the nine years that I have been away from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, I’ve watched this university grow and flourish.

I am honored to begin work today as chancellor and I commit to listening, learning, and moving forward together with you.

I am honored and excited to return to the University of Tennessee and to serve as your next chancellor. There has never been a better time to be a Volunteer, and I am ready to hit the ground running.
