Thomas Gibson was chosen to be the 10thΒ chancellor in the history of 51ΑΤΖζ.
Gibson, currently chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, will take the place of Mark Mone, who will step down this summer after 11 years as 51ΑΤΖζ chancellor and return to a professorship in the Lubar College of Business.
The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents unanimously approved Gibsonβs appointment, following a recommendation made by a selection committee.
βIβm honored and humbled to be appointed chancellor of UW-Milwaukee, and I look forward to working with students, faculty, and staο¬ to collectively define a vision for the future,β Gibson said. βStudents considering UW-Milwaukee should know that our faculty and staο¬ are dedicated to your success, and Iβll be right there with them cheering you on.β
Gibson has been chancellor of UW-Stevens Point since January 2021. In that time, the university has created new opportunities for graduate and first-year students, experienced two consecutive years of enrollment growth and secured major philanthropic gifts from business and individual partners, including $10 million from Sentry Insurance for the new Sentry School of Business and Economics, donations of land for College of Natural Resources research, the Skyward Internship Center on campus and a faculty fellowship in cello and music studies.
