In good hands

Deputy Chancellor Marcellette Williams has been asked by UMass President William Bulger to become interim chancellor of the Amherst campus when Chancellor David Scott steps down June 30, and to serve until a permanent chancellor is selected. Williams came to UMass with Scott in 1994 from Michigan State, where both had been members of the administration. “It gives me a deep sense of closure to know that the first person I recruited to UMass has been selected by President Bulger as the best person to serve as my immediate successor,” says Scott. Williams says she looked forward to serving in the position: “The opportunity to serve in this transitional period is a privilege and a responsibility that I take to heart,” she says.
