<p>I heard Dr. Barron speak via the provided link and he sounds VERY impressive.</p>

<p>Barron interview at FSU: The</a> Florida State University - Presidential Search</p>
<p>I’m a student and I’ve watch all of the interviewed candidates. I must say that Dr. Barron was far and away the most impressive and exciting of all of the candidates. He is what we need, with out a doubt. I think he’s dynamic and aggressive enough to push us to the next level. I’m going to get in touch with my SGA reps and voice my support for Dr. Barron, or Eric, as he says he prefers to be called, haha.</p>
<p>Dr. Barron outshined the other two candidates in the interviews. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, was proactive in his presentation, seemed at home chatting with the panel, and overall made a good impression. He talked and acted like a university president.</p>
<p>The physics professor from Boston College reminded me of Woody Allen trying to talk his way out of a tight spot like being before a firing squad about to execute him!</p>
<p>Bedell (the BC physics prof) has little chance from what I hear.</p>
<p>The ranking is:</p>
<ol>
<li> Barron</li>
<li> Leath</li>
<li> Go back to the drawing board.</li>
