After a nationwide search, Morehouse College announced Tuesday that a fellow “Morehouse Man” will serve as its 13th president.

Public health leader and biostatistician Dr. F. DuBois Bowman will take over the position on July 15, following the end of President David A. Thomas’ tenure in June.

Bowman, who currently serves as dean of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, graduated from Morehouse with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1992. He was a member of both Phi Beta Kappa and Omega Psi Phi fraternities during his time there.
