Stacy Volnick Named Interim President

This morning, FAU Board of Trustees Chair Brad Levine announced the appointment of Stacy Volnick as interim president. Stacy currently serves as FAU’s chief operating officer and vice president for administrative affairs. She will begin her new role on January 1, 2023.

A double FAU alumna, Stacy holds a bachelor’s degree in communication from the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and a master’s degree in education leadership from the College of Education. She is pursuing a doctorate in higher education leadership.

Stacy has worked in several administrative positions at FAU since 1991. In her present role, she expertly oversees areas vital to the continuing operations of the university, including Public Safety, Facilities Management, Environmental Health & Safety, Human Resources, Business Services, Emergency Management, Board of Trustees Operations, President’s Office Operations, the Eleanor R. Baldwin House, the University Ombudsman, and Offices of the Inspector General and University Compliance.

I am thankful to Stacy for her many years of dedicated service to FAU and I congratulate her for being selected as interim president. I am confident in her ability to lead the university through its upcoming transition in a manner that upholds its core values and furthers its strategic plan. I look forward to working with Stacy in my role as emeritus president and offer my full support as she begins her new appointment.
