Message from President Brogan

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Florida Atlantic University family. You have just become part of the most exciting university in America.  FAU is on the move on all fronts, from its expanding academic programs and rapidly advancing research initiatives to its flourishing campuses and winning intercollegiate athletics teams. 

Established in 1964 as America’s only upper-division university, serving juniors, seniors and graduate students exclusively, FAU has blossomed into a full-service, four-year institution that offers bachelor’s, master’s, specialist’s and doctoral degrees in more than 80 fields of study.  Delivering top-quality academic programs has always been at the heart of the University’s mission, and FAU’s world-class faculty continues to bring the learning experience alive in both the classroom and laboratory settings.  More than 26,000 regularly enrolled students are now working toward their degrees on FAU campuses in Davie, Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce.  FAU now has more than 110,000 alumni, and I am proud to count myself among them.

Research is another critically important function of the University. FAU stands on the threshold of a whole new era of participation and accomplishment in the international research arena.  In recent years the University has established partnerships with some of the world’s preeminent biomedical research organizations, including the Scripps Research Institute, the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. These alliances open up whole new worlds of opportunity for our faculty and student researchers, and they complement the medical education program that FAU has launched in cooperation with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

You could not have picked a better time to join FAU, where the focus is squarely on customer service.  The reason we are here is to serve our students and the public at large with knowledge, enthusiasm and courtesy.  Our goal is to become the most customer-responsive university in the United States, and I know you will do your part to make that vision a reality.  I look forward to working with you as we take Florida Atlantic University to ever-higher levels of excellence in public service.
