San Francisco State University executive Leroy Morishita will become interim president at ÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø in Hayward beginning in July, ÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø said Monday.

Morishita has been at San Francisco State since 2002, serving as executive vice president and chief financial officer since 2009.

"I have a great appreciation for the opportunities East Bay has to offer," he said in a statement.

CSU Chancellor Charles Reed tapped Morishita to lead the Hayward campus until a permanent replacement for outgoing President Mohammad Qayoumi can be found.

Qayoumi will become president at San Jose State University in July.
