Reaction: What people are saying about Gary Miller's appointment
From across campus and beyond, people extend a hearty welcome to the Millers and share their hopes for his presidency.
‘Dr. Miller has an outstanding record as an effective higher education leader and consensus builder. He brings not only two decades of senior-level higher education leadership, but also first-hand experience as a member of the teaching faculty and as a researcher. My Board colleagues and I believe he is the right person at the right time to lead our University.’
Joseph M. Gingo
Chair, University of Akron Board of Trustees
‘Gary has been an effective leader as UW-Green Bay’s Chancellor, helping grow enrollment while elevating UW-Green Bay’s standing as a strong regional comprehensive institution within the UW System. His leadership was instrumental in developing and implementing mission changes that were responsive to state and regional needs; restructuring the organization to better serve students; and developing academic programs to meet regional employers’ needs. As important, he was extraordinarily successful in community engagement, helping build relationships that not only benefit us now, but will serve us well into the future. We will miss him, but we certainly wish him the best.’
Ray Cross
President, University of Wisconsin System
