Former Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, recently named chancellor of the University of Maine System, will propose a search for a new president of the Fort Kent school.
Newly appointed University of Maine System Chancellor Dannel P. Malloy is scheduled to speak at the University of Maine at Farmington today, as he begins his second week on the job.
Malloy visited the public university system’s campuses in Fort Kent and Presque Isle last week, and has plans to visit each of the system's seven sites by the end of the July.
In prepared remarks last week, Malloy said he will be proposing a search for a new president of the University of Maine at Fort Kent. Provost Tex Boggs was named interim president there earlier in the year after President John Short announced his retirement.
“Tex Boggs is a highly qualified educational leader,” Malloy said. “We are fortunate that he has agreed to provide institutional leadership here at Fort Kent over the next year. I will be working closely with him, UMFK’s faculty and staff, and our community stakeholders to build on the very good work that is already underway in the St. John Valley.”
Malloy, a former governor of Connecticut, succeeded James H. Page as chancellor of the University of Maine System on June 30.
