Library and learning center dedicated at Bradenton college campus

Days before the start of her retirement, the president of the State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, was honored with a building dedicated in her name.

Carol Probstfeld, president of the Bradenton-based college, will officially retire on July 1 after 27 years of service in higher education. Under her leadership, the library and learning center opened on the campus in 2018. It was one of 292 major capital projects worth $72.3 million completed during Probsfeld's tenure as president, the Business Observer previously reported.

“In recognition of her immense contributions, we are proud to announce the naming of this center as the Dr. Carol F. Probstfeld Library & Learning Center, a testament to her enduring legacy,” Board of Trustees chair Rod Thompson says in a statement.
