People take it for granted now that Springfield has a four-year university, University of Illinois Springfield chancellor Richard Ringeisen said Monday.
Ringeisen said that’s the proudest achievement he’ll take away when he steps down as UIS chancellor in October.
At times battling tears, Ringeisen, 65, on Monday announced his retirement after more than nine years at UIS.
“It sounds like a cliche, I guess, but I just feel it’s the right time,” Ringeisen said.
Ringeisen's retirement was featured in a March 2, 2010, article in the State Journal-Register.
