Last week, I sat down for a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Lori Mann Bruce, our new Chancellor here on our campus - the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Our conversations with Dr. Bruce - which air the third Tuesday of each month here on “Scenic Roots” - are recorded in the podcasting space at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business in Fletcher Hall.

Among the topics for this conversation: the Chancellor's investiture ceremony - on Fri 11/20 at Mackenzie Arena; honoring veterans at UTC; a new Chief of Staff to the Chancellor; students and public safety; the College of Nursing; Engel Stadium - and more.
