Transformation of FKCC
Quote from Saron E. Farrell, Department Head of Social Sciences and Fine Arts on how Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle transformed FKCC into a center of learning excellence.
"In two brief years she has transformed the college into a center of learning excellence, evidenced by increased enrollment, and a new student-centered curriculum and schedule. President Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle encourages grant writing and additionally brought in almost two million dollars in gifts to the college. Thanks to her financial stewardship, faculty received raises last year averaging seventeen percent, bringing the faculty to the median salary."

Social Justice
Dr. Landesberg-Boyle has a wealth of knowledge in social justice. She has led courses in multicultural education and was involved in numerous social justice experiential projects such as developing a Latino residential hall at The University of Massachusetts, teaching classes on antisemitism, racism, and multiculturalism.
Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle was invited by Zeta Phi Beta, a historically black sorority, to be their faculty advisor, becoming the first white advisor to that organization.
Most recently Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle, upon hearing of the closer of the PACE Center for Girls, which would leave a number of at-risk girls no place to turn, including 9 which were sheduled to graduate in the spring, jumped into action. Working with MCSD Program Specialist Carol Eisenman and others worked to open a new program at FKCC which would provide a seemless transition for these Girls.
Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle said, “We’re willing to do anything we can to help. We’ve been working very hard to connect the community to the college and the college to the community. This is just one more way we can accomplish that goal. It’s a way for us to make a difference in our community and the world.”
This program at FKCC, put 35 homeless students ages 18-24 into higher education.

Landesberg-Boyle brings in $2.24 Million
Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle bring in $2.24 Million via a Defense Appropriation
The Defense Appropriation for
Instrumented Underwater Training Systems (IUTS), that Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle helped to secure for FKCC will enable the Jame E. Lockwood, Jr. School of Underwater Technologies and the Marie Science Department raise research to a new level. Propelling the college to new heights in research and enabling it to offer more opportunities to the students.
Some of the funds will go to new equitment, such as underwater side sonar technology and ground penetrating radar. Those items will double their use as instructional equipment for a variety of other scientific projects, one of which will be a course Dr. Rice will develop in coral reef mapping systems. However, the applications are limitless and include possibilities for training in underwater archeology, port security, and other utilities.
The appropriation was the work of Jill Landesberg-Boyle, Patrick Rice, and Bill Chalfant, working diligently with their Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who, on behalf of the college and the region.

Conservation Pays Off
As president of FKCC, Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle instituted simple conservation methods at FKCC, which not only ended up saving the college $100K a year, but of course is also good for the environment.
Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle demonstrated leadership that could make a significant difference in our country if other institutional leaders were to follow suit.
You often hear environmentalist talk about the solution to our environmental and energy problems will not be through just one approach. Instead we need a plan that incorporates alternative energy sources and conservation. Dr. Landesberg-Boyle shows how much more we can do on the conservation front and how that has immediate payback, equating to real dollars.
Lets demand this type of thinking from ourselves and our community leaders.

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.
