Retirement of Senior Vice Chancellor Larry Gaines

Sent Monday, August 8

Greetings, Rutgers University–Camden Community:

With deep appreciation, I share the news that after a distinguished 36-year career, Larry Gaines, senior vice chancellor for administration and finance, has announced his intention to retire from Rutgers University–Camden effective July 31, 2023.

Senior Vice Chancellor Gaines began his 19-year tenure at the business school in 1986. In 2004, he was recognized for his dedication to Rutgers, winning the Excellence in Service Award, which acknowledged his collaborative approach to work and his willingness to tackle challenges and tasks outside his regular responsibilities. In 2005, Gaines was named associate chancellor for administration and finance at Rutgers–Camden. He was promoted to vice chancellor in 2007 and was named senior vice chancellor in 2016.

Senior Vice Chancellor Gaines has been an asset to Rutgers–Camden for the decades he has spent here, shepherding the university through monumental growth and change. I want to recognize his vast contributions to Rutgers School of Business–Camden and the university.

Please join me in thanking Larry for his service to Rutgers­-Camden and wishing him the full enjoyment of the years to come.

Sincerely,

Antonio D. Tillis, Ph.D.
Chancellor
Rutgers University–Camden
