Tim Cost has been a “servant leader” before that was a thing, and all of Jacksonville stands to benefit.
Every university president is impressive, but Jacksonville University’s leader is truly exceptional. A c-level executive at the likes of Kodak, Bristol-Myers and PepsiCo, Tim Cost arrived at the helm of his alma mater in 2013 with decades of Fortune 50 corporate experience and the know-how to execute JU’s yearning to be a preeminent institution of higher learning. Walk onto JU’s riverfront, tree-lined campus today and you’ll discover a hive of innovation, with Jacksonville’s most impressive employers collaborating with students on everything from training nurses to deliver next-generation health care to simulating commercial flight out of LAX. Listen to Episode 11 of Innovate Jax and you’ll learn that President Cost’s potent formula of mixing world-class academia with business will catalyze change not just in JU’s corner of the world, but around the world.
