Members of the Presidential Search Advisory Committee and FGCU Board of Trustees are invited to attend the public forums.

The public forums will be hybrid, so participants can attend virtually or in person. Each forum will be recorded, so campus stakeholders can replay the forums at a later time and date.

Virtual links, details on how to submit questions for each forum, and links to finalist feedback forms will be shared next week.

Information submitted by each finalist through the application process can be found on FGCU’s presidential search website, www.fgcu.edu/presidentialsearch. All other candidate information will remain exempt and confidential, according to Section 1004.098, Florida Statutes.

Final interviews will take place May 4 during a public meeting of the FGCU Board of Trustees. A selection will be made at the conclusion of the meeting, with the president-elect going before the Board of Governors on May 10 for confirmation as FGCU’s fifth president.

According to the search timeline, the transfer of duties is expected to take place July 1, following the retirement of President Mike Martin. Martin took office at FGCU in 2017 and is retiring after dedicating more than five decades to higher education.
