In the meantime, a national search for a new president will be conducted with the objective of having UCF's third president selected prior to Colbourn's departure from office.

"The Silver Anniversary of the University's founding provided a window on a very satisfying view of the 10 years I have been privileged to lead UCF. That satisfaction, together with my continuing interest in teaching and re­ search, convinced me that this was a particularly appropriate time for me to step aside for new leadership to take UCF into its third decade of classes."
