Chancellor, University of Virginia’s College at Wise, Wise County
Virginia Business// August 30, 2023//
FIRST JOB: I worked at a Dairy Queen during the summers while I was in high school.
FAVORITE APP: Apple Fitness, except when it tells me that I’m behind in meeting my goals for the day
HOW I BALANCE WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE: Some days, I am better at this than others. In my role as chancellor, my days are full, as are evenings and weekends at events at the college and in the community. I love my family and their support of my work. When I’m with them, I try to be completely present. My favorite time is in the kitchen and enjoying conversations.
DID YOU KNOW? U.Va. Wise’s first female chancellor and a biologist by training, Henry arrived in 2013 from Florida Gulf Coast University. She has degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. This fall, the college began offering its first graduate degree program: a master’s of education degree.
