Rick Scott Offers Praise for Jeff Atwater in Bid for FAU Presidency

Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater received warm words of praise from Gov. Rick Scott after he announced he'd be applying for presidency of Boca Raton-based Florida Atlantic University.

Jeff Atwater has the experience and the skill to be an outstanding president at Florida Atlantic University, said Scott in a statement released Saturday. While the school will no doubt consider multiple, qualified, prestigious candidates for the job, FAU would be well-served to have a leader like Jeff at the helm.
