Jill Landesberg-Boyle Brings in Millions

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle brought in Millions to FKCC, raised enrollment, and reinviorated the college.

Quote from Dr. Susanne Woods, Provost Emerita, Wheaton COllege, MA

"I worked with Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle on a couple of projects, and can attest that she is an outstanding educator and administrator, who took our local Florida Keys Community College from sure-failure to substantial success, including rising enrollments and exciting new programs. These latter include a new partnership with the Navy for diving and marine programs, accompanied by a $2 million federal grant."

I think that sums it up nicely Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle has quite a record to be proud of.

Quote from the Key West Citizen Newspaper - Landesberg-Boyle Made FKCC Meaningful

Here are two key quotes from the Key West Citizen Newspaper:

Landesberg-Boyle accomplished a great deal in her tenure as president of the college. On her watch, enrollment was dramatically increased, instructors' hours were reshaped to fit student needs, new programs were initiated, a connection was made with a four-year college and there was a solid start on building a dormitory.

She (Landesberg-Boyle) did what was needed to resurrect the college from years of stagnation. She made FKCC meaningful, though she made few friends along the way.

These are fantastic quotes, but it is only the tip of the iceberg of Dr. Landesberg-Boyle's accomplishments. The work Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle did with Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen bringing in a $2.24 million dollar federal appropriation to FKCC. Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle also brought the largest private donation, a $1 million dollar bequest from the James Lockwood estate.
