Rhonda Linseman-Saunders talks how Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle was railroaded because she demoted the then mayor McPherson’s brother. The major used his influence to get his sister on the board. The major was not reelected, but the damage was already done.
Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle raised over $2 million for the college, instituted green initiatives that saved the college $100,000 a year. Brought in partnerships with Raytheon, TSA, the Navy and other schools to offer 4 year degrees. Attracted world class faculty and improved curriculum. Dr Jill Landesberg-Boylethrough all of these efforts increased enrollment by 20%, last year it was the fastest growing college in the Florida state system.
The result was overwhelming community, student, and faculty support. Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boylewill be missed by the community, but we are hopeful that the reinvigorated college will persist due to the hard work she put in.
Thank you Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle.
