Today @Huskerjane0 & I are announcing that I will retire from the role of @UNLincoln’s chancellor at the end of June 2023 to focus our next chapter on our growing family & our faith. It has been a distinct calling, privilege, honor & pleasure to serve UNL. https://t.co/ZKFjV0qGJu pic.twitter.com/JazO2mXHeo

Green became UNL’s Chancellor back in 2016, succeeding Harvey Perlman, becoming the school’s 20th Chancellor.
In the video, Green pays respect to the Husker community and the honor it was to take on the esteemed role.
In 2010, I answered the call to come back to Nebraska, as the vice Chancellor of UNL’s INR, Green said. …and then ultimately, seven years ago I enthusiastically answered the call of service to assume the role as your 20th Chancellor, which I said at the time was almost too surreal to believe for a first-generation college-educated, farm boy.
Green says he plans to focus more on the next chapter with the focus on family and growing his faith.
