Dr. Mark B. Rosenberg is the president of Florida International University and former Chancellor of the State University System of Florida. He was first appointed as chancellor in November 2005, following the passage of an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida that mandated the creation of a new governance system for Florida's public universities. In November 2008 he announced that he would retire and return to Florida International University.

Prior to being named Chancellor, Rosenberg served as Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at Florida International University. He also served as a professor, center director, dean and vice provost. Recognized as one of the most experienced chief executives in higher education in the country, Rosenberg is also a noted expert in Latin American Affairs.
