Florida International University [SEP] History
The bill was signed into law by then-governor W. Haydon Burns in June 1965, marking Florida International University's official founding. FIU's founding president Charles "Chuck" Perry was appointed by the Board of Regents in July 1969. At 32 years old, the new president was the youngest in the history of the State University System and, at the time, the youngest university president in the country. Perry recruited three co-founders, Butler Waugh, Donald McDowell and Nick Sileo. Alvah Chapman, Jr., former "Miami Herald" publisher and Knight Ridder chairman, used his civic standing and media power to assist the effort. In the 1980s, Chapman became chair of the FIU Foundation Board of Trustees.
