UT President to announce new chancellor Monday
MARTIN, Tenn. – University of Tennessee President Dr. John Petersen will announce the new University of Tennessee at Martin chancellor at 1 p.m., Monday, in Room 206, of Boling University Center. The public is invited.
The announcement culminates a seven-month search spearheaded by an advisory committee Petersen named last October. The committee, which began with more than 60 applicants, was assisted in the search by the firm of Baker Parker Global Executive Search, of Atlanta, Ga.
In September, Dr. Nick Dunagan, UT Martin chancellor, announced plans to retire in June 2007 after six years as chancellor and a total of 34 years at UT Martin.
A reception will follow the announcement in Room 206 of the university center.
