The budget conference process has begun—now is the time to act.
We need your voice to advocate for our state elected officials to increase operational funding that supports our university, student success, and our region’s future.

Talking point inspiration:
• FGCU has strengthened our performance and continues to deliver strong results for students, workforce development, and our regional economy—all while operating efficiently and maximizing every dollar.
• Investing in Your University will help build on this momentum, allowing FGCU to meet growing regional demand and continue producing the talent and skills Florida’s employers need.
