Happy Holidays, Owls!

As the calendar year comes to a close, I’d like to extend my heartfelt wishes for a wonderful holiday season to everyone in the Florida Atlantic family.

In 2024, the University experienced another remarkable year of achievements made possible by our dedicated community of students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters. From receiving the ACE/Fidelity Investments Award for Institutional Transformation to reaching No. 103 on the U.S. News & World Report list of the best public universities — I am so proud of what we have accomplished together. Not only are we supporting student success, but we are reaching new milestones that are being recognized on a national level.

Thank you to the entire Florida Atlantic community for your hard work this year, and for your continued commitment to excellence. During the winter break, I hope everyone takes time to rest and reflect on the incredible progress we have made. I am excited to carry our mission forward in the year ahead, as we enter a new era of innovation and collaboration for the University.

As a reminder, Florida Atlantic will be closed from Monday, Dec. 23 to Wednesday, Jan. 1, with campuses returning to normal business on Thursday, Jan. 2.

Happy holidays, Owls!
