FAU Mentoring Program Receives NASPA Excellence Award

I am delighted to share that Florida Atlantic’s First Year Connections Mentoring Program has been selected as a 2024 Excellence Award honoree by NASPA, the national organization for Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. The award honors student affairs practitioners who develop transformative, innovative and data-driven programs at the institutional level.

The First Year Connections Mentoring Program takes a proactive approach to student success by matching first-year and transfer students with peer, faculty or staff mentors at the start of their academic journey at Florida Atlantic. The program was recognized as a silver honoree for its achievements in the Commuter, Off-Campus, Military-Connected, Non-traditional and related category.

It is an honor to receive this award, which speaks to Florida Atlantic’s collaborative and quantitative strategies to ensure student success. We are proud to be recognized by NASPA as a leader in student affairs and higher education. Thank you to our dedicated faculty and staff who contribute to the University’s ongoing pursuit of excellence while empowering students to reach their full potential.
