Chancellor Steve Schwab, the 12th Chancellor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) announced his retirement earlier this year. Join me for a conversation with the Chancellor as we discuss successes and moving forward. Chancellor Schwab talks about the vision of the UTHSC remaining steadfast throughout his career and adjusting and adapting that vision as the UTHSC grew. Over the years, the strategic plan, led by the Chancellor, has addressed the need to grow in all 6 professional colleges.

In spite of the coronavirus pandemic, the UTHSC kept moving forward to educate students safely. A hybrid form of education was delivered and is still being delivered on the UTHSC campus across all colleges. The hybrid system is working very well for students, faculty, and staff at the Memphis campus and this type of delivery for education is potentially here to stay. Chancellor Schwab also talks about the campus master plan led by Executive Vice Chancellor, Ken Brown.

Chancellor Schwab reveals his plans for retirement and how it is important to enjoy the things you love doing while you’re healthy.
