A Lesson in Leadership and Innovation with Chancellor Donde Plowman

In Episode 23 of At Scale, Chancellor Donde Plowman of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville joins tnAchieves for a conversation about leading a flagship, land-grant university with clarity and purpose. At the center of the discussion is a simple idea: student success must remain the north star, even within a large and complex institution. Chancellor Plowman shares how alignment across leadership, faculty, and staff creates momentum. When priorities are clear and consistently communicated, teams can focus less on noise and more on improving the student experience, strengthening retention, and increasing graduation outcomes. The episode also explores innovation as a practical tool rather than a buzzword. From leveraging technology to improving systems and communication, UT’s approach focuses on removing barriers and supporting students more effectively at scale. For Tennessee, this work matters. Large public institutions shape the state’s workforce and future economy. Episode 23 offers a candid look at what it takes to lead boldly, build culture, and improve outcomes for thousands of students each year.
