President Rosenberg sent the following message to the university community today
Dear FIU family,
Miami has lost a community pillar, our FIU has lost one of its greatest champions and we have lost a friend. It is crushing to share with you that Board of Trustees Chair Emeritus Albert E. Dotson Sr. passed yesterday at his home. He was surrounded by family members and loved ones.
Al joined the FIU Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors in 1983 and served on it until 2001, when he became a founding member of our Board of Trustees. He served on our board with distinction for a decade, including as chair from 2009 to 2011. In the 10 years since his retirement from our board, he served on both athletics and medical school committees and maintained his passion and fire in the belly for our institution and your well-being throughout.
