Steve Angle’s day was more efficient than yours.
Angle, his wife and two children boarded a University of Tennessee private plane in Dayton, Ohio, Friday morning, landed in Chattanooga around 10 a.m., drove straight to the UTC campus, sat through meets and greets and news conferences and photo ops, then flew back home by 4 p.m.
And in between, around 2 p.m. Friday, the UT board of trustees voted to approve Angle as the next chancellor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. This was Angle’s second visit to the campus.
“You’re going to work hard no matter where you go,” Angle said. “But you want to go to a place where working hard can be fun, too. … I place a very high value on this gut feeling. This is going to be a good place.”
