It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bob Hetzel, Vice Chancellor Emeritus for Administration & Finance, an individual who left an indelible mark on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Bob dedicated 17 years of exemplary service to UWL before his retirement in 2024. Throughout his tenure, he played a pivotal role in shaping the university as we know it today, providing visionary leadership, sound financial stewardship and an unwavering commitment to student success. More than that, Bob was a remarkable person who truly loved UWL and cared about this community. He will be deeply missed. 🤍
