A former cigarettes executive is one of the new members of the University of Florida board of trustees.
The Florida Board of Governors voted Thursday to approve Susan Cameron, former chief executive of the Reynolds American buy cigarettes company, and Charles Edwards, a member of the Board of Governors, to be UF trustees. Both terms run until Jan. 6, 2016.
Edwards resigned his position with the state university system governing body to join the UF board.
Cameron, who went by Susan Ivey before being remarried, was the first woman to lead a U.S. cigarette company and retired this year after more than six years at the company's helm.
A 1980 graduate of UF, she's served on the UF Foundation board and endowed a professorship in international business at the Warrington College of Business Administration.
Cameron was traveling outside the U.S. and could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Edwards is a Fort Myers attorney who has served on the Board of Governors for five years. He was appointed to the Board of Regents, the old governing body of the state university system, in 1987 and later served as its vice chairman and chairman.
Edwards received his bachelor's degree from UF in 1965 and law degree from UF in 1968.
He said Thursday that after having a statewide focus on higher education for many years, he was looking forward to being able to focus on his alma mater.
Cameron succeeds Cynthia O'Connell, whose term ended in February when she was named Secretary of the Florida Lottery, and Edwards succeeds Mac McGriff. Both McGriff and O'Connell had been UF trustees since the board was created in 2001.
The UF board has gone through major turnover. Last month, Gov. Rick Scott appointed Atlanta health care executive Michael Heekin, Naples health care executive Alan Levine and Florida Power and Light senior attorney Juliet Roulhac to be trustees.
New Faculty Senate Chair Scott Nygren and Student Government President Ben Meyers have also joined the board in recent months.
