Features
President Ronald L. Vaughn breathed life into a languishing university. Now, after nearly 30 years, he leaves it thriving. We talked to him about what worked, what it took, and what’s ahead for him after a career that established UT as a pillar of reinvention and innovation.
Highlights from the Vaughn era forever will be intertwined with the future of the University. Indeed, the momentum behind UT’s milestones only continues to build.
Lessons from President Ronald L. Vaughn’s tenure are in no short supply. We asked faculty, staff, students, donors, trustees and others to share what they’ve learned from UT’s departing leader and what they’ll remember about working with him. A few themes emerged: vision, execution, sincere interest and kindness. These are their words.
The campus art collection, much of it carefully chosen by President and Renée Vaughn, is a nod to the value of a cultural education.
Spartan Spotlights
Campus Clock is a Relic of What Made Them Tick
A grandfather clock towers over anyone who steps into a staff office on the first floor of Plant Hall.
Born to Make a Difference
As a genomic science liaison for Ambry Genetics, Victoria Suslovitch ’16 assists health care providers in connecting the logical side of genetics with the human side. This can include teaching providers how to include genetics in their clinics or walking them through a patient’s case.
Spartan Ready Philanthropy
In many ways, Nancy (Nuttall) Sauer lived as a mystery. She kept to herself, nodded at neighbors on her nightly walks and wasn’t known for much more than small talk.
For more than 40 years, UT has thanked some of its biggest supporters with an evening of dinner and dancing at the Minaret Society Dinner. The event has been a favorite of Ron and Renée Vaughn, who help decide the menu, music and theme, including last year’s popular “Step Into Our Story.” The event celebrates UT donors and their philanthropic commitment to advance UT’s mission and provide elevated educational experiences for UT students.
