McMillan takes helm at UMD

DULUTH — Dave McMillan’s office at the University of Minnesota Duluth is still bare-bones: a desk and chair, of course, stacks of papers here and there, mostly empty bookshelves, plus a few hockey sticks and a football signed by some of the school’s championship teams that his predecessor left attached to the walls of an adjoining conference room.

McMillan’s first day as the school’s interim chancellor was Aug. 8. He said he spent most of his first week meeting with administrators at the school, plus some regional business leaders via the city’s chamber of commerce and Apex, a Duluth-based business development organization. He’s also had a few informal meet-and-greets with facilities management staff and football players who are already on campus ahead of the new semester.
