On Jan. 3, 2011, I was honored to go to work for the first time as president of the University of Tennessee. But it was not the first day I went to work thinking about how to make the University better, to facilitate its services and outreach, to improve the education it provides, to increase the research it produces, and to demonstrate the University's immense value to this great state and all of its citizens.
Great land-grant institutions like the University of Tennessee tie back to every county and every town from Memphis to Mountain City.I spent four years thinking about all of that as chancellor of the UT Institute of Agriculture. That time convinced me I could have no job more satisfying than leading the most comprehensive public research institution in Tennessee.
