“Dr. Boatmun has provided invaluable leadership during the implementation of our expanding online programs over the past few years, which has resulted in significant enrollment growth,’’ said Southeastern interim president Dr. Bryon Clark. “As the higher education models continue to change, we believe his expertise will be a good fit for the area of enrollment management.’’
