After 14 years of leadership that has elevated Jacksonville University student success, academic growth, and community impact, President Tim Cost will become Chancellor in the summer of 2026, concluding one of the most active CEO eras in the University\u2019s 91-year evolution.<\/p>\n

In his new role, a planned transition agreed to with the JU Board of Trustees in 2022, Cost will actively focus externally on partnerships, fundraising, alumni, community, and government relations.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Cost\u2019s exemplary leadership over the past 14 years has transformed our University in remarkable ways,\u201d said Jacksonville University Board Chair John Miller. \u201cUnder his guidance, we\u2019ve enjoyed growth in undergraduate and graduate enrollment, developed countless strategic partnerships in and outside of our community, and elevated our profile both in the region and beyond. The Board is grateful for his extraordinary commitment as President and his dedication to students, and we are confident he will help further advance our mission and expand our impact as Chancellor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The University plans to conduct the customary search for Cost\u2019s successor under the direction of JU\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a privilege and an honor to serve as President,\u201d Cost said. \u201cThis is a unique, thriving campus with vibrant students and faculty, and we are proud to have been of service to this great community. The senior executive talent here is deep and ready, and the time is right to transition to Chancellor. I will now focus externally on relationships to open new doors for students and to build an even better University. We welcome this opportunity to continue to serve, and we will always be fully committed to our culture of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
