As of today, Lynn University’s relative obscurity is a thing of the past. The same will likely be true for its president, Kevin Ross ’94, who has been at the helm since 2006. “Most people have never heard about the school so they think not much is going on there,” Ross told the Tampa Bay Times. “We are […]
