Background
- Scope and content:
On January 31, 2003, by unanimous vote of the university's Board of Trustees, Frank T. Brogan - Florida's incumbent lieutenant governor and a 1981 graduate of FAU's master's degree program in educational administration - was named the fifth president of Florida Atlantic University.
Throughout President Brogan's term, the university grew in ways both conventional and innovative. FAU High School, a dual enrollment program for students with exceptional academic abilities and strong self-motivation, opened in 2004. Two years later, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science was established to provide a home for FAU's medical education program. That was followed by creation of the Graduate College to provide a single resource center for all graduate programs university-wide. In 2008, FAU merged with the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) in Fort Pierce, a leader in marine science and related fields. As a unit of FAU, HBOI changed its name to the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.
President Brogan's records reflect his internal and external University responsibilities as chief administrative officer of the University. The records include correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, agendas, clippings, photographs, publications, and other materials created and compiled by the Office of the President.
