Prem S. Paul’s passing
The campus community mourned the loss of Prem S. Paul, longtime vice chancellor for research and economic development, who passed away Sept. 2 after a lengthy illness. Known affectionately as the “Vice Chancellor for Enthusiasm,” Paul led unprecedented research growth during his 15 years at Nebraska. To honor his legacy, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents unanimously approved a measure to rename the Whittier Research Center as the Prem S. Paul Research Center at Whittier School. Paul was honored at a Nov. 22 memorial. Watch the video.
