Dr. Ronnie D. Green was appointed as the 20th chancellor of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln on May 8, 2016. The official installation ceremony took place on April 6, 2017. As a junior faculty, Dr. Wang was thrilled to have this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Green in person. She also had a great opportunity to meet many role models (see Picture: from the left to right, Dr. Sebestian who is the dean of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) College of Nursing, Dr. Kostelnik who is the dean of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) College of Education and Human Science, and Dr. Guthmiller who is the dean of UNMC College of Dentistry).
Dr. Wang enjoyed every moment during this special event. Professor Joy Castro gave a wonderful closing speech and she said: “Leading the University of Nebraska will require unusual vision and courage. But it’s safe to say that Ronnie Green is a man not easily fooled and not easily led. As Chancellor, he has begun already to demonstrate his extraordinary capacity to lead us well. We have every faith that he will.” View full speech
