Today we held FAU’s first expo for high school students, and the day couldn’t have gone better! The weather was perfect for thousands of Palm Beach County high school students and their parents who filled the Boca campus. Representatives from every college provided information about the university, and after the expo we all got to cheer the Owls to a last-gasp 45-38 victory over Western Kentucky.

The high point for me came when the scholarship drawing was held and five lucky winners among our high school visitors were selected to receive $6,000 freshman-year tuition awards. We’ll do it all again on Saturday, Nov. 1, when we’ll host high school students from Broward County. Full information is available at www.fau.edu/expo. 

Spread the word, and join us to cheer the Owls to another home victory.

Go Owls!
