AVON PARK, Fla.–May 20, 2015–Dr. Thomas C. Leitzel, president of South Florida State College, has offered the position of vice president for academic affairs and student services to Dr. Sidney E.

Dr. Valentine, who is scheduled to begin work at SFSC on July 6, will fill the position held by Dr. Leana Revell who is retiring June 30 after 11 years at SFSC.
