Florida A&M University Launches the Presidential Search Website

Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida A&M University (FAMU) announces the national search for the University’s 13^th president. The presidential search website is active, and nominations will be accepted until the position is filled.

The search is chaired by FAMU Board of Trustees Vice Chair Deveron Gibbons, MBA, MPA, J.D. It will be guided by a presidential search committee comprised of representatives from the broader university community and constituencies. The search committee will be supported by Myers McRae, a highly regarded executive search firm with extensive experience leading executive searches. The search committee aims to have a new university president by the summer of 2025.

“FAMU is an extraordinary university, and this is an opportunity for the institution to chart a bold path forward. The university is searching for a dynamic leader and communicator who shares FAMU’s values, appreciates our multi-campus identity, and brings with them experience running large, complex organizations with institutional effectiveness, accountability, and a commitment to excellence,” said Gibbons. “I am confident that the search committee will identify and choose a candidate who will lead FAMU into the future, building upon the university’s legacy as a premier institution committed to world-class academics, innovative research, and service that advances the common good.”

Additionally, the website features an opportunity for the FAMU community and stakeholders to provide feedback on what leadership capabilities, professional experiences, qualifications, and personal characteristics the next president should possess. They can also provide feedback on suggested priorities and challenges that the new president should consider.
