Hannah, Emily
Person
Biography
UW-Eau Claire's fourth chancellor, Emily Hannah, was the first woman to head a UW System institution. She also was the first UW-Eau Claire chancellor to not have a background in public school administration.
During her tenure, from 1981 to 1984, Hannah was responsible for several important initiatives. She encouraged greater faculty engagement with research and scholarship. Following the recommendations of a task force headed by Chancellor Emeritus Leonard Haas, she promoted international education through more study-abroad programs and increased the numbers of international exchange students attending UW-Eau Claire. She greatly enlarged and strengthened the university's Honors Program, and she was an advocate for a greater presence of women on the faculty and women's issues in the curriculum.
