Eckerd College leaders announced today, during a campuswide meeting, that President Donald R. Eastman III will retire effective June 30, 2020.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\u201cIt has been my honor and privilege to have served for the last 18 years, leading this exceptional institution in the noble work of educating tomorrow\u2019s leaders and elevating Eckerd College to its rightful place among the best national liberal arts colleges in the country,\u201d Eastman said. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve achieved at the College would not have been possible without our superb faculty, students, staff, alumni and unfailing support of the Board of Trustees. Eckerd College is a strong, close community; and my wife, Christine, and I will cherish our years here always.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eastman\u2019s retirement will give the College\u2019s Presidential Search Committee 17 months to find a successor, according to Board of Trustees<\/a> Chair John Finneran.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon Eastman has been a visionary leader for Eckerd College. Our shared goal, and a challenge that Don has met, has been to establish Eckerd\u2019s place among the preeminent institutions in the U.S.,\u201d said Finneran, who is senior advisor and corporate secretary for Capital One Financial Corporation in McLean, Va. \u201cEckerd has been transformed financially and physically, with a vision and a sense of purpose that have bolstered and enriched the academic program and the student experience. The College today is in tremendous shape and it is well-positioned for continued progress and success. Don\u2019s legacy as an advocate for this institution, its students, its faculty and the community will endure for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eckerd College Board Vice Chair and Search Committee Chair Ian Johnson \u201989 told faculty and staff present at today\u2019s announcement meeting that the College already has begun work to identify Eckerd\u2019s next president. The Board has contracted with the firm Academic Search<\/a> of Washington, D.C., and the search will begin this spring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board is confident that we will find a great leader to help guide the next phase of the College\u2019s journey,\u201d said Johnson, of Boston, senior vice president of investment operations at Fidelity Investments. \u201cWe have ample time to find a successor who can build upon the tremendous positive momentum Don has established at Eckerd. We have identified a Search Committee and we are taking all of the necessary steps to guide the institution through this transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eastman continues to lead Eckerd during this period when small private colleges are experiencing financial pressure and a number have shut their doors. Despite it all, Eckerd College has managed to flourish\u2014with increased applications and enrollment, increased endowment and a greatly enhanced physical plant.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to Don\u2019s exemplary leadership, I know of no other college with the modest resources of Eckerd that has come further, risen faster and developed more effectively a special niche among the nation\u2019s liberal arts colleges,\u201d said Dr. David L. Warren, of Washington, D.C., president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities<\/a> (NAICU) and an Eckerd College Trustee since 1997.<\/p>\n

Eastman, 73, was born in Virginia and graduated from the University of Tennessee before earning his Ph.D. in English from the University of Florida. Immediately prior to coming to Eckerd, he served as vice president for development and university relations and vice president for strategic planning and public affairs at the University of Georgia.<\/p>\n

Eastman became the College\u2019s fourth president<\/a> in 2001 and has led the institution to national prominence through a focus on adroit management, fundraising, raising the College\u2019s public profile, connecting with alumni, and developing and improving programs to support an exceptional undergraduate experience.<\/p>\n

Applications have more than doubled since Eastman\u2019s arrival, student retention has increased 10 percentage points, and students living on campus have increased from 68 percent to 89 percent (with more on a wait list). The 1,970 undergraduate students who currently attend Eckerd College can attain bachelor\u2019s degrees in science, arts and fine arts in 40 majors with 50 minors<\/a>\u201412 of which were created since 2001\u2014and go on to excellent graduate programs throughout the country and around the world. More than 70 percent of 2018 graduates who started their careers at Eckerd studied abroad<\/a> at least once because of the College\u2019s redoubled efforts to make study abroad available to all.<\/p>\n

Veteran board member George W. Off, a retired businessman who lives in St. Petersburg, said Eastman\u2019s legacy will ultimately be the students and alumni. \u201cThe College has been true to its mission, it\u2019s graduating really fine citizens, it\u2019s graduating really well-educated people who will go out and make a difference in the world,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1958<\/a> as Florida Presbyterian College, Eckerd College\u2014which was renamed in 1972 after a donation from pharmacy executive and philanthropist Jack Eckerd\u2014still maintains a covenant with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Florida\u2019s only national private liberal arts college, Eckerd is one of 40 schools featured in the book Colleges That Change Lives<\/em><\/a> and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society<\/a>. Last year, its 188-acre waterfront campus on the Gulf Coast attracted students from 45 states and 40 countries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3998″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][image_with_animation image_url=”4023″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][image_with_animation image_url=”4012″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]Eastman retirement letter<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
