MADISON, Wis.—Universities of Wisconsin Regent President Amy B. Bogost issued this statement today on the departure of Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin:
“Chancellor Mnookin has truly left an indelible mark on this institution, one that will resonate for generations. From the beginning of her tenure, there were many difficult times that would have shaken even the most talented leaders. Yet Chancellor Mnookin was remarkable in how she steered the University of Wisconsin with a steady hand through treacherous times, with the ability to bring the community together. She is a leader that inspires all around her to do their best, deeply committed to our students. Her vision has ensured the Wisconsin Idea continues to impact our students and the state, while also flourishing globally. On behalf of the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents, I want to thank her for her deep commitment to our institution. We will miss her but wish her well as she embarks on her next chapter, secure in the knowledge that her extraordinary contributions have prepared us for an even stronger future.”
