Welcome, from interim chancellor Betsy Morgan

Betsy Morgan has been named interim chancellor at UW-La Crosse as the university continues its national search for a new permanent chancellor.

Morgan, who arrived on campus in 1993, has served as UWL’s provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs since 2017. Previously, she was a professor and chair of UWL’s Psychology Department.

Morgan holds a doctorate in social ecology (social and gender psychology) from the University of California, Irvine. 

She is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and served as president of the Psi-Chi International Honor Society from 2013 to 2016.

She has authored two textbooks and several peer-reviewed journal articles, and has presented at over 50 conferences nationwide.

Morgan is a longtime resident of Onalaska, Wis., and has twin sons, age 31. She is also a breast cancer survivor.

Morgan looks forward to leading UWL — an institution known for academic and cocurricular excellence — this spring, through the upcoming chancellor transition.
