U.S. News & World Report has ranked New College of Florida the No. 5 public liberal arts college nationwide in the magazine's 2014 "Best Colleges" edition. The rankings were released today on the magazine's website.

 

New College ranked 89th among all national liberal arts colleges, public and private, the ninth consecutive year New College has placed in the top 100. It is also the ninth consecutive year that New College has placed in the top six public liberal arts colleges.

 

New College is the only Florida liberal arts college to be listed among the magazine's top 100.

New College Appoints New Physical Plant Director

   

New College has named Alan Burr, a Bradenton resident and experienced administrator of college facilities, as its new director of physical plant.

 

Burr will oversee the College's custodial, grounds and maintenance operations, supporting more than 600,000 square feet of academic, residential and administrative space on the 199-acre campus. He also will oversee the College's facilities planning and construction activities, and the Campus Master Plan.

 

Burr was chosen after a four-month search and selected from a field of 39 candidates. "Alan has a track record of delivering timely and quality support on management of residential and academic facilities," said John Martin, vice president of administration and finance at New College. "He's known for being a good listener, communicator and organizer, and has a reputation for impeccable integrity."
