LOOKING AHEAD We are quickly gearing up for the 2019 Florida Legislative Session, which begins March 5. FSU is asking for continued funding in recognition of our preeminence and our performance. These funds will support our ongoing efforts to hire world-class faculty and scholars, advance our professional and graduate degree programs, support our academic excellence and maintain our facilities.
In addition, we are asking the Legislature to provide additional funding for the College of Business Legacy Hall project, the Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building and a new STEM Teaching Lab, as well as increased program and building funds for our FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. FSU is also requesting funds to help with the extensive repairs to our Panama City Campus due to Hurricane Michael.
Thanks to the Legislature’s support, we’ve made big strides in improving nearly every measure of student success, and I’m optimistic legislators will continue to support our efforts as Florida State achieves even greater national prominence.
Please continue to share your ideas and feedback with me. I love hearing about your research and creative activities and seeing the headlines you are generating around the world! Below are a few I’d like to share.
I know, together, we will continue this upward trajectory and climb to even higher levels of excellence in 2019.
Sincerely,
