"Students also are fond of Brogan. Affable and quick with a quip, he blends easily into campus life. Every August, he helps freshmen move into dorms. Often unknown to new students and parents, Brogan said a mother once referred to him as 'the little guy with the dolly.'
Rick Smith, who graduated in 2007, said he once visited Brogan's office after 5 p.m., without an appointment. He was welcomed inside.
'That conversation meant more to me than almost anything else I experienced at FAU,' Smith said."

Tomorrow, we all could wake up and start to realize a life without Brogan. Although he would be president for a little while longer while he transitions, LAB could begin - Life After Brogan.

President Brogan will still remain the president until someone is named interim president. Word on the street, and in the Sun-Sentinel, is that the interim president will be Provost Dr. John Pritchett. Some think he may be interested, and highly qualified, for the presidency.
