She did great things as Dean to propel the College of Business forward, and the university as a whole as the Executive Vice-Chancellor. I wish Donde well and, as she did at UNL, I’m sure she will start something big for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville," University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Dr. Ronnie Green said.
