Dear Members of the Kent State Family:

Among our university's greatest assets are the dedicated individuals who serve in academic and administrative leadership roles. I write today to let you know that two of these able and astute leaders have decided to begin new chapters in their lives and will be retiring from the university. Gregg Floyd will step down as senior vice president for Finance and Administration after the completion of a national search for his successor and a transitional period; and Greg Jarvie, vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs (and a proud Kent State alumnus) will be leaving us at the end of July.

I know I speak for many of you as I express my deep gratitude to Vice Presidents Floyd and Jarvie for their years of outstanding service. They have always approached their roles with great integrity and with the best interests of the university — especially our students — foremost in mind. There will be ample opportunity for you to extend your own pats on the back and best wishes to these longtime leaders in the months ahead. In the meantime, you can be assured that I will work closely with each of them to ensure that the coming transitions in leadership are smooth, seamless and successful.

Best regards,

Beverly Warren
President, Kent State University
