On Friday, the Southern University Board of Supervisors approved the appointment of James Ammons to the position of executive vice president for the Southern University System and executive vice chancellor for the Baton Rouge campus.

"Dr. Ammons has distinguished himself in a number of roles at various universities and increased enrollment," System President Ray Belton said. "We anticipate much from him."

Ammons, who previously served as president of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University, expressed his excitement to join the Southern University family.

"I am looking forward to helping make this System all that we know it can be. There is so much potential," said Ammons during his comments to the board. "We have so much to work with. With all of us working together as a team, I know we can be successful."

Ammons served as the 10th president of FAMU from 2007-2012. Prior to that he was the chancellor at North Carolina Central University from 2001-2007 and provost and vice-president of academic affairs at FAMU from 1995-2001.

At FAMU, Ammons provided leadership to help reestablish the FAMU College of Law and develop 22 new degree programs. FAMU also reached its highest-ever enrollment during the years Ammons was president. All of his freshmen classes had 3.0+ average GPAs from high school.

Ammons holds a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Florida A&M. He also has a Master of Science in Public Administration and a Ph.D. in Government, both from Florida State University.
