President Caldwell Announces Intention to Retire

During the fall meeting of the Florida College Board of Directors (Friday, September 19, 2008), President Caldwell requested that the Trustees begin a search for the fifth President of Florida College and allow him to return to his tenured position on the faculty. After eighteen years as President, he will pursue other opportunities for service. In his statement, he said that he considers returning to his teaching position a “promotion.” He will continue in his present role until the Board chooses and installs the next President. Board Chairman, Paul Cook of Bowling Green, Ky., will lead the Directors in its review, search, and selection process. President Caldwell has said that he expects to be the “chief cheerleader” for the person who follows him in this office.
