The UW–Oshkosh campus community turned out in a big way Wednesday to welcome incoming Chancellor Manohar Singh on his second official day on the job.
An open house in the Chancellor’s Office allowed faculty and staff members a chance to meet Dr. Singh, who, in short remarks, said the opportunity to lead UWO is a great honor. Succeeding outgoing Chancellor Andrew Leavitt, Singh officially became UWO’s 12th chancellor on July 1.

Singh has served as interim president of Western Connecticut State University since 2023. Prior to that he was Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, Conn. He has held leadership posts at Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif.; Penn State University Abington in Abington, Pa.; and Long Island University Post in Brookville, N.Y. He has also been a professor of finance at several universities.
“As a first-generation college graduate, Manohar Singh believes in the power of higher education to improve lives and is a collaborative leader who builds consensus,” Jay Rothman, president of the Universities of Wisconsin, said as Singh’s selection was announced in April.
