Thinking of Everyone Affected by Hurricane Michael
Today, we watch with sadness the many reports of devastation in Florida's Panhandle from Hurricane Michael, which made landfall yesterday as a Category 4 storm. Many structures were damaged or destroyed, and a great number of residents are without power. This includes in the service areas of our fellow state institutions, Florida A&M, Florida State, and the University of West Florida. Florida State has a satellite campus in Panama City Beach, one of the hardest hit areas. Additionally, many FAU students and alumni are from the Panhandle and Big Bend areas. My thoughts are with everyone who was affected by this catastrophic storm. FAU is ready and able to help our students and fellow institutions during this difficult time. Many relief organizations also are reaching out to help. Please click here for more information about how to contribute to the relief effort. Although we are nearing the end of hurricane season, we must remain alert and prepared. If a tropical storm or hurricane approaches our service area, the University will share updates through a variety of communication platforms. Please click here for instructions on how to confirm that your emergency contact information is up to date.
FAU Celebrates LGBT History Month
FAU kicked off LGBT History Month this week with a series of events across our Boca Raton, Jupiter and Broward campuses. LGBT History Month was established in 1994 to celebrate the achievements of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender icons, and encompasses National Coming Out Day, which is October 11. LGBT History Month events taking place at FAU include the Safe Zone Ally Training Program, which educates attendees on issues relating to the LGBTQ+ community and fosters allies, to create a safe and inclusive campus environment. The culminating event is FAU's annual Drag Show on Oct. 27, featuring locally known artists. All events are free and open to the public. Click here for the full schedule of events. FAU is committed to providing an inclusive environment for our diverse student body, and that includes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Our LGBT+ Resource Center provides support and resources for LGBT+ students and members of the FAU community seeking to understand their experiences.

Congrats to A.D. Henderson - A National Blue Ribbon School!
Today, we received the exciting news that FAU's A.D. Henderson University School was named a 2018 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. The National Blue Ribbon Schools program recognizes primary and secondary schools for academic excellence or for making strides toward closing the achievement gap among students. A.D. Henderson is one of 349 National Blue Ribbon Schools in the U.S., and one of only 12 in Florida. Since 1968, A.D. Henderson has been a leader in public education, providing a challenging, innovative curriculum for students from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups and economically disadvantaged families. Our early college model offered at FAU High gives students the opportunity to graduate from high school while simultaneously earning a bachelor's degree, making higher education more affordable for families. A.D. Henderson is working to change education nationwide with its groundbreaking education practices, and I am delighted that it received this recognition for academic performance. Congratulations, A.D. Henderson, and Happy 50^th Anniversary!
FAU Proud to Support the Advancement of Women
I am thrilled to share that today, FAU received the ATHENA Organizational Leadership Award from the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches. The ATHENA Awards recognize members of the community for their role in helping women achieve their full potential. Since 1964, FAU has proudly served the South Florida community by providing the education and skills necessary for all students to succeed in the workforce. We've made it a top priority to assist women on their journeys toward professional excellence, and we continue to add programs and services to support that mission. FAU also is blessed with a staff full of remarkable women whose legacies have guided the university's growth and helped to build its reputation for excellence. They are as diverse as our student body, and they each help to foster the culture of inclusion that we are so proud of at FAU. Their accomplishments inspire our students - both male and female - to pursue their goals with Unbridled Ambition^® every day. Congratulations to West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio and FAU alumna Amyleigh Atwater '09, who also received ATHENA Awards. Amyleigh is Director of Advancement at Place of Hope, and the daughter of FAU's Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Atwater. Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches for this honor, and for supporting the advancement of women in our community.
¡Feliz Mes de la Hispanidad!
El sábado 15 de septiembre comenzó el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, la celebración nacional anual de tradiciones, historia y cultura hispana y latinoamericana. El Mes de la herencia hispana se extenderá hasta el 15 de octubre. Por segundo año consecutivo, FAU está catalogada como una de las universidades con mayor diversidad étnica en el país por el informe U.S. News and World Report. Los estudiantes hispanos representan más del 25 por ciento del cuerpo estudiantil en FAU, nuestra mayor población minoritaria. Estamos muy orgullosos de que el Departamento de Educación de EE. UU. Haya designado a FAU como una institución que brinda servicios a los hispanos, lo cual está ayudando a que la universidad sirva mejor a esta creciente población de estudiantes. FAU organizará una variedad de eventos del Mes de la Herencia Hispana en nuestros campus de Boca Raton, Jupiter y Broward durante el próximo mes, estos eventos incluirán: destacados oradores, discusiones en grupo, comidas gratuitas, clases de manualidades y juegos, y más. Todos los eventos son gratuitos y abiertos al público. Haga clic aquí para obtener más información sobre los eventos del Mes de la Herencia Hispana en FAU. Espero que todos puedan unirse a las festividades y celebrar las muchas formas en que las tradiciones y cultura hispana y latinoamericana han enriquecido a nuestra sociedad.
