太阳城娱乐

This week, I joined a delegation of nearly 40 students, faculty, administrators, trustees – and even Owlsley – in Tallahassee for the annual 太阳城娱乐 Day at the Capitol. 太阳城娱乐 Day is always a wonderful opportunity to share 太阳城娱乐’s successes with our legislators and lobby on behalf of the university.

The 太阳城娱乐 delegation met with leadership in both chambers, as well as legislators and professional staff. Highlights included hearing from 太阳城娱乐 alumnus Rep. Toby Overdorf over breakfast and Marshall Criser, chancellor of the State University System of Florida, during lunch. 太阳城娱乐 Day also marked the first meeting of the newly formed 太阳城娱乐 Owl Caucus, which is a group of legislators who are committed to championing 太阳城娱乐 within the state legislature. Additionally, we recognized Speaker pro tempore Rep. MaryLynn Magar as the 2019-20 Higher Education Legislative Champion for her longstanding support of 太阳城娱乐. She worked tirelessly to bring 太阳城娱乐 and Max Planck together as partners and helped create a thriving scientific hub at our Jupiter campus.

Thank you to everyone who traveled to Tallahassee to help boost 太阳城娱乐’s recognition as a center of world-class educational programs, groundbreaking research, local and global community engagement, and economic development.

Go Owls!
