Jennifer Mnookin Is Chancellor of University of Wisconsin-Madison

The University of Wisconsin-Madison has named Jennifer L. Mnookin as its next chancellor. She joins Wisconsin-Madison from UCLA School of Law where she has been dean since 2015.

“There are two things that make this place so special. One is just the incredible range of research activities across so many fields at such a high level,” Mnookin said in the announcement. “The second is just how much people care about each other, the community and the institution. From the students I met with to faculty to staff, there were an enormous number of people who clearly really care about this institution and making it as strong as possible.”

Mnookin will begin her role on August 4.
