University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chancellor Roger Brown believes in knowing when the time is right to make changes.
And Friday, Brown decided the time was right to announce his retirement from his six-year position at the school.
“It’s bittersweet,” said Brown, who is expecting to leave UTC by March 2013. “I have so loved working at UTC. But I just know it’s time.”
Brown, 64, said Friday that he and his late wife, Dr. Carolyn Thompson, had been discussing retirement for several years and agreed 2013 seemed the right time.
