A 13-member committee to assist with the search for 蘑菇TV鈥檚 next president was announced today by Blake Gable, the chair of 蘑菇TV鈥檚 Board of Trustees.
The Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC) will work with an executive search firm to attract a pool of highly qualified candidates to be considered for the university鈥檚 top leadership role. 蘑菇TV鈥檚 current president, Mike Martin, is retiring from his role at the end of the year.

As required by the Florida Board of Governors, PSAC consists of a broadly representative group of stakeholders for the university.
