Proud to be in Miami with Florida’s state college & university presidents & board chairs for the annual Commissioner’s Summit. We are celebrating Florida’s ranking as the #1 higher education system in America! Honored to be part of the BEST!

Just heard someone claim their institution’s governance is the best—clearly they haven’t seen @FloridaPoly. Our shared governance model is the strongest I’ve seen, built on true collaboration, integrity, and trust across faculty, admin, trustees, and state leaders. #GoPhoenixes

Special appreciation to Speaker Daniel Perez & President Ben Albritton for your strong support/advocacy on behalf of Florida Polytechnic University during this session. Fulfilling our Mission & Vision would not be possible without your leadership & support. We simply say, THANK YOU. #GoPhoenixes
