🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Jacenta Cordova 🌟

Jacenta shares her love for her experience at FAU. "I started in 2022, studying Exercise Science & Health Promotion at the College of Science. I fell in love not only with my program but also with the campus, the city, the beaches & everything Palm Beach had to offer! Not really knowing what plans I had post-grad, in 2024, I was positively influenced to take the next step in my education by mentors in my program, directors & professors. I began dual-enrolling in my B.S. & M.S. programs to earn my Master's in Exercise Physiology. Last year, in 2025, I graduated with my Bachelor's in Exercise Science & Health Promotion. This year, I walked the stage again; Collecting my Masters in Exercise Physiology Magna Cum Laude!! I couldn’t be more grateful to the FAU College of Science and the FAU Graduate College for giving me the opportunity to grow not only academically but also personally. In these 4 years, I learned who I was and who I wanted to be.

I am truly proud to be a Florida Atlantic University Alumni & Extremely proud to be considered a “Double Owl”. As a first-generation student & the First in my family to earn a Master's, I’m thankful for all the opportunities and challenges presented during my time at Florida Atlantic University. Go Owls ❤️💙"

I’m a strong supporter of Haitian culture and have served on the executive board of Konbit Kreyol as historian, helping preserve and highlight our community’s history and impact.

Outside of school, I spend much of my time volunteering with Doing Good in the Hood, a nonprofit dedicated to providing essential resources to underserved communities.
