Glenn has led UHV since 2018 and is now set to retire this August. Throughout his tenure, he has guided the university through periods of both growth and challenge, playing a crucial role in elevating UHV's academic standing, expanding its campus and making a lasting positive impact on the Victoria community. Under his leadership, the university saw growth and improvement of several buildings, including University South, Northwest, University Commons and Don & Mona Smith Hall. He also oversaw the Ben Wilson Street construction project, a decade-long process that created an official entryway to the campus. Academically, Glenn championed the creation of a new aviation minor, earning more than $3 million in funding from the Texas Legislature. After his retirement, Glenn, along with his wife, Laurie, plans to spend more time with family and their grandchildren.
