President Emeritus Bowman retired in May after a decade leading the University. Timothy J. Flanagan has been named as Illinois State’s 18th president and will take office August 15.
The Presidential Farewell Dinner honoring the Bowmans was held Friday, July 26, at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Uptown Normal.
