Did we miss any hidden gems?

Today, we honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Florida Atlantic's Executive Education Programs was ranked No. 1 in Florida for the fourth year in a row and No. 4 in the United States for its open enrollment professional development programs by the Financial Times!

The Financial Times establishes the rankings using student feedback, course design, faculty, teaching methods and facilities, and is considered the gold standard among rankings.

Construction continues to progress on the Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies Building!

Florida Atlantic celebrated the start of construction in September of 2025, and the building is expected to be completed in Fall 2026. The 22,000-square-foot, two-story structure will be the home of Florida Atlantic’s Holocaust education, Jewish studies and related programs. It also will become a South Florida destination for visitors seeking first-hand knowledge about the Holocaust.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by our “Bring Your Own Tailgate” event on Saturday before the Florida Atlantic Baseball game! Great to see everyone! 🦉 ⚾️

We had an amazing gathering tonight for our annual Past Alumni Association Board Chairs Meeting! It was incredibly meaningful assembling so many passionate advocates for Florida Atlantic.

It was great connecting with so many alumni and community members at Executive Education’s Community Connections event in West Palm Beach at Venture X! 🦉

Florida Atlantic's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine held its commencement ceremony for the Class of 2026, marking its largest in history with 79 graduates.
