Questions can be submitted anonymously
I encourage the entire FIU community to participate, share ideas and ask questions. Your input is instrumental to this process. Invitations for each session are forthcoming.
Transcripts from each session will be made available to members of the FIU Board of Trustees in advance of the meeting on October 17, when the Board is expected to consider the Presidential Search Committee’s recommendation.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to identify FIU’s next leader.
Sincerely,
Roger Tovar
