Provost Perry to Step Down

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that, after nearly four years as provost and vice president for academic affairs, Dr. Gary Perry will step down by the end of the next academic year. Dr. Perry has dedicated his professional life to Florida Atlantic University, and I am tremendously grateful for the role he played in helping transform FAU into the nation’s fastest improving university. Without his hard work and dedication, the university would not have made such remarkable progress in such a short period of time.

I will soon begin a national search for his successor. In the meantime, Dr. Perry will continue in his role, after which he will return to the faculty and resume his teaching and research interests.

Please join me in thanking Dr. Perry, and wishing him much success in the years to come.
