Rollins’ Board of Trustees has announced the presidential search committee that will identify the 16th president of the College and a worthy successor to President Grant Cornwell.

At its meeting on May 10, the Board of Trustees approved the membership of the Presidential Search Committee, which is being led by Trustee Orlando Evora ’82. The committee is representative of the College community’s key constituencies and is composed of the following:

  • Rodney C. Adkins ’81 | Vice Chair, Board of Trustees
  • Theodore B. Alfond ’68 ’18H | Vice Chair, Board of Trustees
  • Kourtnie Berry ’12 | Assistant Coach, Women’s Basketball
  • Dexter Boniface | Weddell Professor of the Americas and Past President, CLA Faculty
  • Henrique Correa | Steinmetz Professor of Operations Management, Crummer Graduate School of Business
  • Donald Davison | VP for Academic Affairs & Provost
  • Carroll Hanley Goggin ’85 | Trustee
  • Rick Goings ’12H | Chair, Board of Trustees (non-voting)
  • Mai-Han Harrington ’10 ’15MBA | Alumni Trustee (2021-2024)
  • Thomas J. Hauske ’84 | Trustee
  • Eltavious Johnson ’26 | VP, Student Government Association
  • Allan E. Keen ’70 ’71MBA ’10H | Trustee
  • Jana Mathews | Professor of English and Past President, CLA Faculty

  • Anne Murdaugh | President, CLA Faculty and Associate Professor of Physics
  • Paul Reich ’97 | Professor of English and Past President, CLA Faculty
  • Eric Spiegel | Trustee
  • Faye Tydlaska | VP for Enrollment Management & Marketing

Rollins’ partners in the search process, the Storbeck Search | DSG team of managing director Julie Tea and senior associate Kate Phillips, have been connecting with members of the Rollins community to learn more about the institution’s greatest strengths, the challenges and opportunities awaiting new leadership, and the skill sets and personal attributes most important for our next president to possess.

As a complement to the listening sessions, an electronic Constituent Survey is available for campus community members to share their thoughts regarding the search. The survey can be accessed through this link: Rollins College Constituent Survey – Presidential Search. Survey responses are anonymous and will be collated by the Storbeck Search team. The survey will take five to 10 minutes to complete.

Information from the listening sessions and the survey will provide the basis for the search prospectus, an important document describing the College and the leadership agenda for the next president. Rollins’ consultants will prepare a draft for editing by the Presidential Search Committee before it is distributed to the College community and beyond as we look to build a robust and talented candidate pool.
