SOUTHWEST Fla. – One day after a COVID-19 vaccine was recommended for approval in the U.S., many are already looking forward to the day that we get back to some semblance of normalcy.
“Maybe we can start losing the masks,” Florida Gulf Coast University student Noah Barbot said.
Governor Ron Desantis announced Thursday night on social media that the state of Florida will receive 179,400 vaccines within the next week.
“I’m looking forward to the people who are concerned about the virus getting their vaccine,” Peter Guidi said. “I sure hope it works.”
Since each person who receives a vaccine will need two doses, that means we’ll have enough to vaccinate just over 89,000 people with frontline healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities expected to be among the first.
FGCU president announces next steps for university leaders
Dr. Martin became the university’s fourth president in 2017. In May 2019, he spoke about retiring.
In his memo, he said the university launched an internal search in anticipation of Vice President for Administrative Services and Finance Steve Magiera’s retirement in March 2021.
The newly appointed Executive Vice President (EVP) and Provost, Mark Rieger, will join the school from Maryland in mid-January. Jim Llorens, the current EVP, will continue on a part -time basis as a senior “consultant” through the spring to assist with the transition.
Once Rieger is settled, Dr. Martin said he will continue chatting with the Board of Trustees about a plan for naming the university’s fifth president.

LEE COUNTY, Fla. – The biggest expansion to Florida Gulf Coast University since its opening over 20 year ago is beginning to take shape.
Construction of the new Water School is underway. Crews have been hard at work and so have students at FGCU, who are studying the amount of water consumed during the construction project.
The building, slated to open in late 2021, will be the largest on campus.
“This building is 114,414 gross square foot,” said Chris Fusco, the project manager from Manhattan Construction.
So far, the university is already seeing that the project is consuming a lot of water “about 253,000 gallons,” Kailey Stockinger, a student working on the study, said.
