After months of work identifying, recruiting and interviewing candidates, the Presidential Search Committee met to discuss putting forward candidates for the Board of Trustees’ consideration.

After considering more than 70 individuals and a thorough and vigorous review process that included in-person interviews of a dozen promising and highly-qualified individuals, the search committee is confident it has arrived at the best person to lead our university.

Only one candidate is being recommended to the BOT, due to an unwillingness by other individuals to continue their candidacy, unless they were the sole recommendation of the committee.

The search committee voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees Dr. Kenneth A. Jessell as the finalist to become the 6th president of FIU.
