A Message from the Presidential Search Committee

To the Florida Atlantic Community,

It is my honor to serve as chair of Florida Atlantic’s Presidential Search Committee, and I look forward to beginning the important process of identifying the next leader of our thriving institution. To assist in this process, we have retained the services of Buffkin/Baker, an executive search firm with one of the most prominent higher education practices in the country. Buffkin/Baker has conducted more than 900 searches for both public and private colleges and universities nationwide. In addition to its depth of experience and focus on higher education, Buffkin/Baker also specializes in leading executive searches in health care and digital transformation — areas that are of significant strategic importance to the University. The Buffkin/Baker team will consist of two leaders in the firm’s higher education practice: Ann Yates, partner, and Martin Baker, managing partner.

Our first Presidential Search Committee meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at 1 p.m. Eastern time. The agenda for the meeting is available under the Meetings Tab on the Presidential Search website. I will continue to update you as we move forward with this process and as future activities are scheduled throughout the fall semester.

I hope you enjoy the last few weeks of summer. Best wishes for the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year!

Sincerely,

Sherry Murphy
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
