Supporters of Florida’s State University System spoke with one voice last week at a press conference in Tallahassee announcing the launch of the “Think Florida” campaign, which is focused on taking the relationship between business and higher education to a whole new level. During the next two years, all 12 public universities in Florida will work hard to align their academic programs and research activities with employers’ needs for a highly skilled workforce. This initiative will produce expanded career opportunities for our students as it propels our state’s economy forward. At FAU, we enthusiastically endorse the “Think Florida” campaign and have already embraced its guiding principles in our strategic plan. We’re taking FAU and our state into the best of all futures!
