Janet Schrunk Ericksen Named Acting Chancellor of the University of Minnesota Morris


July 13, 2021
The University of Minnesota has named Janet Schrunk Ericksen as acting chancellor for the Morris campus.
Ericksen has most recently served as vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean for the Morris campus. She assumed the role of acting chancellor on July 1, 2021, following Chancellor Michelle Behr’s retirement. Behr retired at the end of June after four and a half years of leadership on the Morris campus. 
Ericksen will focus her efforts as acting chancellor on continuing to make the Morris campus a vibrant center for liberal arts education, engaged with the region, state, nation, and world.
 
“The campus has a strategic plan to reach and maintain our mission to be a national leader in collaborative and innovative 21st century library arts education,” Ericksen said. “Chancellor Behr leaves the campus in a favorable position to fulfill those strategic commitments. My role will be to continue that momentum.” ....
