Dear friends,

It's with tremendous sadness that we share the news that Dr. Bob Hetzel, Vice Chancellor Emeritus for Administration and Finance, passed away August 27, 2026. During his 17 years at UWL, Dr. Hetzel led the institution through challenging financial times while also garnering big wins for the campus, including a new student union, the building of an athletics fieldhouse, and the development and funding of the Prairie Springs Science Center. Dr. Hetzel also was generous with his time and, for years, taught the university finance course in the SAA masters program. Many of you, undoubtedly, had him as an instructor and learned not only about finance and budgeting but also about his love for higher education, students, and, UWL.

We hope you'll join us in honoring his life and legacy. Rest in peace, Dr. Bob.
