UNF Presidential Search Committee members named

University of North Florida Board of Trustees Chair Steve Moore today announced members of the UNF President Search Committee.

"UNF has experienced extraordinary positive momentum in recent years, and few decisions are more consequential to the University than the selection of its next President to continue advancing its mission to educate students, conduct impactful research and support the needs of the Northeast Florida community," Moore said.

The 11-member search committee, chaired by UNF Board of Trustees member Jack Boyle, serves a critical role. The committee will present the Board a strong slate of unranked, highly qualified candidates for consideration as the eighth President of UNF.

The Board of Trustees will then select the next UNF President, subject to approval by the Florida Board of Governors.

The committee's work will be guided by the Florida Board of Governors Regulation 1.002, Presidential Search and Selection, and Section 1004.098 of the Florida Statutes.

"Chair Moore has appointed an exceptional presidential search committee comprised of people who care deeply about the future of UNF," said BOG chair Alan Levine. "We look forward to a productive search process, which yields the best leader to guide UNF forward.

Updates about the search, including committee meeting dates, will be posted on the UNF Presidential Search Committee website.
