FACU &

It is truly an honor and privilege to serve as the 20122013 President of the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities (FAC&U). FAC&U has a long history of bringing together the Presidents of the institutions that make up the three sectors of higher education in Florida; the Florida College System (FCS), the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF), and the State University System (SUS) of Florida.

As we witness the continuing focus on higher education in Florida, there has never been a better time to unite together as higher educational institutions, to continue to advocate for accountability, affordability and access.

Economic development agencies everywhere are tying economic improvement and prosperity to increased college completions and successful career preparations, especially in the STEM fields. While each institution has a local mission, vision and purpose, the collective impact we can make as the Florida Association of Colleges & Universities is even more powerful. Imagine how much stronger we can be when we unite under the FAC&U banner and “speak with one voice� as it relates to the direction higher education in Florida is headed.

We have seen clearly that the legislatively mandated Higher Education Coordinating Council (HECC), which was well represented by our three sectors, has spent several years discussing accountability, programs, services Dr. Katherine M. Johnson and college completion rates. Now, Pasco-Hernando just this past session, by executive orCommunity College der of the Governor, a Blue Ribbon Task Force on state higher education reform has been appointed and is in the process of evaluating the State University System.

In the past, FAC&U has primarily focused on attempting to align a broad legislative agenda that provided legislators with information. However, in recent years we have articulated an ideal Continued on Page 2

Ms. Pam Stewart, Interim Commissioner of Education

from the president Continued from Page 2 for higher education in Florida entitled Vision 2020: In Vision 2020 the desired outcomes for our institutions under the FAC&U umbrella are: • Financial access • Dependable funding • Measureable funding strategies addressing access, affordability, quality, and accountability • Multi-sector autonomy and collaboration • Sufficient talent for a robust state economy • Government leaders and general public to see higher education as an investment, not an expense • Students learn all of “life’s lessons”, not just job skills Clearly this is a broad and purposeful vision that can prove to be very valuable and further establish FAC&U as the “one voice” for higher education in Florida. In order to accomplish this and other initiatives in the future, the FAC&U Board has approved a contractual relationship with Florida Campus Compact. Part of the FL|CC mission is woven into our Vision 2020 and we feel BOTH organizations might benefit from the blending of opportunities for advocacy, endorsements, grants, and broader education of purposes and collaboration. Clearly, Florida Campus Compact will assist FAC&U to bring a stronger and more unified voice to our elected officials and our many constituents and we at FAC&U can assist Florida Campus Compact. More information on this is can be found on page 3 of this newsletter.

In closing, please allow me to refer to our friend and colleague Art Kirk, from St. Leo University, who was profiled in an article in the June, 2012 issue of Florida Trend entitled “Captain Kirk.” He said, “The classroom is being transformed. The business model, whether its public education or private not-for-profit higher education, is being upset in a lot of different ways, so we have to be aggressive, innovative, entrepreneurial and agile in responding to all of this. The notion that a business model, any business model in any industry, is going to endure decades is obsolete thinking and very dangerous thinking.”

I believe we have the opportunity to be as Art said, “more aggressive, innovative and entrepreneurial” as we move forward in attempting to meet our goals for Vision 2020. We will need all of your ideas and engagement to accomplish this vision… so I am taking the liberty of thanking you, in advance, for your continuing membership and commitment to FAC&U. Once again, I am humbled and proud to be leading this group in 2012-2013. It will be a great year!

news from across the state fac&u aligns with florida campus compact A wise man once said education is an investment in knowledge that pays the best interest.

That was true back when Ben Franklin said it. And, it’s still true today.

This is why the three major sectors of higher education in Florida formed a unique partnership back in 1933 called the Florida Association of Colleges & Universities (FAC&U). And, it’s why we’re just as relevant today, or perhaps even more so, some 80 years later.

Membership in

FAC&U is held by the president of each of the 70 institutions of higher education. Historically, a retired college president has led FAC&U. But over the last two years, the operational duties were outs ourced to the Association of Florida Colleges where publications were updated; the website modified and other communications enhanced. One of the highlights of this era was the successful strate-

gic planning and launch of VISION 2020, under the leadership of Dr. Art Kirk, who was president of FAC&U in the 2010-2011 academic year.

T h e goal now is to have an “anchor organization” in Florida Campus Compact, which will help facilitate all of the broader association activities as well as the administrative functions.

In addition, the new alignment is a good fit, as

the mission of the Florida Campus Compact is student engagement, long considered a key to student success.

The Florida Association of Colleges and Universities recently contracted with Florida Campus Compact to launch this new partnership, effective Aug. 31, 2012. For more information, please visit www.facuflorida.org and www.floridacompact. org.

lynn university Lynn University to Host Final Presidential Debate of 2012 Lynn University has been selected as the site of the final 2012 Presidential Debate by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), to be held on October 22, 2012.

The CPD is a nonprofit, nonpartisan corporation and has sponsored all general election presidential and vice presidential debates since 1988. Lynn University was one of 12 sites nationwide, and the only institution in Florida, under consideration to host one of three presidential debates, or one vice presidential debate produced by the CPD. “Being an undergrad-

uate or graduate student here on our campus when such an historic event takes place will provide a singular and unparalleled educational experience,” Lynn University President, Kevin M. Ross, said.

The site has already hosted a Congressional District 22 debate in October 2010, between then i n c u m b e nt Ron Klein and challenger Allen West. Lynn University submitted its application to the Commission in January 2011 and hosted staff from the Commission on Presiden-

tial Debates over the summer for an on-site survey of the proposed debate venue and campus.

Lynn University received overwhelming and nearly unilateral support for its application from government officials at all levels, including the entire Florida Congressional Delegation, the Florida Cabinet, the leadership of the Florida legislature, former Governor Jeb Bush, former Governor and Senator Bob Graham, Palm Beach County officials, Boca Raton May-

or Susan Whelchel, and many others.

Preparing for an event of this magnitude will require the campus and community to come together and organize for the arrival of the candidates, their campaign staff members, and thousands of national and international journalists expected to come to the area to cover the debate.

“It is a tremendous challenge, but Lynn University will be prepared to welcome the nation to Florida for the final debate before the 2012 general election,” Ross said.

news from across the state adventist university of health sciences Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences Has a New Name Effective June 2012, Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences’ name changed to Adventist University of Health Sciences, announced David Greenlaw, current and founding president of the college, which turns 20 in October.

The name change coincided with the school’s expansion. Last April, a groundbreaking took place for a new 90,000 square-foot, five-story building. The new $25 million dollar tower, which school officials expect will be complete in January 2014, will allow

the school to add new graduate programs.

“With the addition of graduate level programs, including several doctorate programs, we felt it was time to make the change to university status,” said Greenlaw. “Our name has served us well for the past 20 years but with students from all over the countr y seeking degrees here, we felt it was time to change our name to represent the growth we have seen.”

The university’s ex-

panded curriculum will offer doctorates in nurse anesthesia, physical therapy and pharmacy. Currently, a master’s program in occupational therapy, health care administration and anesthesia, in addition to a variety of associate and bachelor’s degrees ranging from nursing to diagnostic medical sonography, are offered.

The university works closely with Florida Hospital and its parent company, Adventist Health System, to train health

care professionals. Many graduates ultimately work for the health system.

“One reason we started the college was to give ourselves a constant stream of professionals trained to see health care as we do. As a faith-based institution, we view health care as a ministry,” Greenlaw said.

The campus is located adjacent to Florida Hospital Orlando. Founded in 1992, the university currently enrolls 2,700 students in its associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.

tallahassee community college TCC President Jim Murdaugh Named Leader of the Year by Leadership Tallahassee Tallahassee Community College (TCC) President Jim Murdaugh received the Leader of the Year Award from Leadership Tallahassee on September 20.

Leadership Tallahassee is a division of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce.

The annual Leader of the Year Award recognizes the efforts of “an individual whose ideas, vision and hard work achieved significant, tangible benefits to the community within the past year.”

Murdaugh, who has been with TCC since 1999, became the College’s sixth president in October 2010. His influence has extended far beyond the TCC campus, however. He was instrumental in establishing BigBendWorks.com, a one-stop resource for area residents in need of employment, and he serves on the boards of the Leon County Research & Development Authority, United Way of the Big

Bend, and WorkForce Plus, among others.

“It’s such a privilege to be a leader in this c om munity,” said Murdaugh during his acceptance speech.

“To have your name mentioned with all of the other finalists, I must tell you, is just amazing.”

$760,000 NSF Grant Funds Florida Tech Professor’s Antarctica Research on Potential King Crab Invasion Climate change could cause a major ecological upheaval in the shallow marine waters of the continental shelf of Antarctica. This is the outlook according to Professor Richard Aronson, head of the Florida Institute of Technology Department of Biological Sciences. His research finds predatory crabs poised to return to warming Antarctic waters and disrupt the primeval marine communities that have lived there for millions of years.

Aronson just received $760,000 in a second round of funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his research. The grant will support two oceanographic cruises, planned for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 austral-summer seasons, to chart the

progress of the invasion.

The grant is from the NSF Antarctic Organisms and Ecosystems program, which is part of the Division of Antarctic Sciences within the Office of Polar Programs.

Aronson sees cause for concern.“The king crabs are predators that eat most types of hard-shelled prey.

If the crabs make it onto the Antarctic shelf, it is highly likely they will disrupt the unique seafloor communities, which currently live just a few hundred meters shallower than the massed crab populations,” he said. Although king crabs are commercially harvested elsewhere, Antarctica is too remote and the crabs are too small for a viable fishery.

The shell-cracking crabs, fish, sharks and rays that dominate bottom communities in temperate and tropical zones have been shut out of Antarctica for millions of years because it is simply too cold for them.

But this situation is about to change.

“Populations of predatory king crabs are already living in deeper water,” said Aronson. “And increasing ship traffic is introducing exotic invaders all the time.

When ships unload ballast water in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica, larvae from all over the world get introduced to the ecosystem.”

Antarctica’s coastal waters are warming rapidly. Temperatures at the

sea surface off the western Antarctic Peninsula went up 1°C in the last 50 years, making it one of the fastest-warming regions of the World Ocean.

“If the crabs invade, they will devastate Antarctica’s unique shallowmarine fauna,” said Aronson. “Unless we work to slow greenhouse-gas emissions, climate change over the next several decades will accelerate the crab invasion and threaten the marine communities in Antarctica. Those communities will lose their unique demeanor and come to look like seafloor communities everywhere else. Taken together, the world’s marine ecosystems will be less diverse. We will have lost something unique and truly beautiful.”

news from across the state florida state university

Doctoral Degrees on the Rise at Florida State University Florida State University reached a new high in the number of doctoral degrees awarded over the past year — a result of The Graduate School’s effort to focus on recruitment and retention of doctoral students.

Last year, Florida State awarded 443 doctoral degrees, up from the previous record of 429 doctorates in 2010-2011. The numbers represent a 73 percent spike over the past decade. “This shows that last year’s record was not just a blip but part of an upward trend,” said Nancy Marcus, dean of The Graduate School and the Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Oceanography. “The focus on recruitment of doctoral students that I began when I became dean seven years ago is beginning to bear fruit.”

Marcus began to focus on doctoral education in 2005 as part of the university’s efforts to increase graduate enrollment by 2 percent annually. The average time to earn a doctoral degree varies by discipline but is somewhere between five and seven years, so it makes sense that the university began to see a jump in the number of degrees awarded about two years ago,

she said. Master’s degrees are also on the upswing, a fact that may be playing a role in the increase of doctoral degrees. One component of the university’s recruiting efforts focuses on current master’s degree students who may not have considered pursuing a doctorate.

There’s no doubt, however, that the university’s stellar faculty members have aided recruitment efforts.

“The reputation of the faculty encourages applications, and as the reputation of the faculty goes up, so does the quality of applicants, and you have a better pool to select from,” Marcus said.

“The higher the quality of graduate students, the more likely they will complete their degree and in a faster amount of time.” The faculty deserves credit for supporting the university’s goal of increasing the number of students who earn doctorates, Marcus said. After all, serving as a major professor to doctoral students takes a significant amount of time to guide research and review dissertations.

In addition, the university’s new strategy goes beyond recruitment to a greater emphasis on retention and completion of the dissertation. Part of that focus involves a meaningful annual review designed to provide valuable feedback and keep students on track — especially important for those who struggle with competing demands of work and family.

The 443 degrees awarded last year include 403 Doctor of Philosophy (or Ph.D.), 24 Doctor of Music and 16 Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees, although the Survey of Earned Doctorates does not count the music and nursing practice degrees because they are not considered research degrees, Marcus said. Of the 429 total in 2010-2011, there were 400 Ph.D. and 29 Doctor of Music degrees. Florida State did not offer the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at that time.

Doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have steadily increased in recent years as well, Marcus said. In 2011-2012, Florida State

awarded 163 doctoral degrees in the STEM fields compared to 123 degrees five years earlier, a 33 percent jump.

But it isn’t just about the numbers, Marcus said, noting that about half of those who earn doctorates stay in academia. The other half bring their knowledge and talents to the work force and the marketplace.

“Doing a Ph.D. is about the creation of new knowledge, new ideas,” she said. “The end product isn’t just about the dissertation. It’s about moving forward as a society. Without the new knowledge, we would have the status quo. The number of degrees we award is evidence that Florida State University is contributing to the research enterprise in this country and internationally.”

Hodges University Awarded Military Friendly Schools® Title Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has named Hodges University to the coveted Military Friendly Schools® list for 2013.

The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.

“Hodges University is honored to be recognized for our work with service members and veterans,” said Dr. Terry McMahan, president of Hodges University. “It is a privilege to give back to those who have served our country, and we will continue to work hard to provide our

military service members with the degree programs and personalized support they need to achieve their educational and career goals.

“With our Veterans Services Center and a student-run Veterans Club, we feel that Hodges is a perfect fit for these returning heroes. They have served our country honorably and now we are honored to serve them with the many degree programs and services that we offer. ” Nearly ten percent of the student body at Hodges University are veterans. “We are committed to providing student veterans with all the tools they need to succeed at Hodges,” said Lee Smith, Director of Hodges University’s Veterans Ser-

vices Center. “Our purpose is to help our student veterans make a smooth transition to academic life, to make sure they use the educational benefits to which they are entitled, and to make their college experience rewarding and productive.”

UT Graduate Students Launch Online Literary Magazine University of Tampa graduate students in creative writing last month launched an online literary magazine to feature new essays, poetry, fiction and visual art from Florida and around the world.

The site recorded more than 20,000 unique hits in July, and it can be viewed at www.tampareviewonline.org.

Tampa Review Online, or TROn, is dedi-

cated to the blending of contemporary literature and visual arts in traditional and innovative ways. The journal is edited by the students of The University of Tampa’s MFA in Creative Writing program. The online magazine takes its name from its award-winning older cousin, Tampa Review, the faculty-edited literary

journal that appears in a hardcover, printed edition twice yearly.

TROn is co-edited

by Andy Stevens, who earned his bachelor’s degree in creative writing from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg and now lives in Tampa, and Bradley Woodrum, who lives in Chicago. Woodrum holds a master’s degree in economics from Roosevelt University, a n d bache l o r ’s d e grees i n English and economics from Jacksonville University. Sixteen other graduate students serve on editorial boards in fiction, poetry, nonfiction and vi-

sual art, and they are scattered around the country and around the world, with one editor currently in Russia.

“These students have set high standards and are ideal examples of handson, experiential education at its best,” said Richard Mathews, Dana professor of English and editor of Tampa Review, who serves as an informal consultant f o r student editors.

“They a r e active participants in shaping the literary landscape, gaining invaluable experience and giving back to others as they help build a geniuine literary community that

transcends borders and invites participation.”

Among TROn’s innovative features are a slide show of featured art, Facebook and Twitter feeds, blog posts by the editors and a Kindle download option. The editors say that audio podcasts of readings and interviews will be coming soon.

“What should a literary journal be nowadays? I don’t think anyone has the answer,” said Jeff Parker, director of the MFA. “But our students have given their answer in Tampa Review Online, and I think it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the day. It’s a steady stream of innovative and well-written work that’s raucous and engaging and features up-and-comers and established greats.”

FAU Has More Than $6.3 Billion Economic Impact on Service Areas

Florida Atlantic University has an estimated economic impact of more than $6.3 billion annually in its six-county service region, according to a recently released project report led by Khi Thai, Ph.D., FAU professor of public administration, and designed by William B. Stronge, Ph.D., FAU professor emeritus of economics.

“FAU clearly fulfills the responsibility of servicing and engaging in the lives of the communities within its six-county region on many different levels,” said FAU President Mary Jane Saunders. “This University is dedicated to economic development, research and community engagement and will continue to expand upon these areas in the years to come.”

The purpose of this study is to measure the tangible economic contribution of FAU to the state

of Florida’s economy. Since its dedication ceremony in 1964, FAU has been a leading center of higher education with a commitment to the economic development of South Florida and the Treasure Coast, as well as the entire state.

According to the report, FAU is a major economic driver as a purchaser of goods and services from private business and an employer of 3,543 men and women who spend their income in the local market. FAU graduates and students also hold jobs in the region, and alumni, students and visitors alike purchase goods and services in the local economy.

Highlights of the study include: FAU contributed $2.5 billion to direct spending in Florida for the 2010-11 fiscal year.

FAU activities are responsible for more than

. .

60,450 in-state jobs.

The FAU presence in the state generates a $4.1 billion increase in Florida’s gross domestic product and a $6.3 billion increase in gross sales.

In 2009-10, FAU graduates contributed more than $2.3 billion more in direct economic impacts than high school graduates in Florida.

FAU students spend more than $509.9 million annually in Florida over and above tuition, fees, and University-supplied room and board.

Those who came to visit FAU students spent more than $39 million in the state.

“FAU’s Board of Trustees is committed to the University’s incredible ability to drive the economy within the sixcounty region it serves,” said Board Chair Robert J. Stilley. “FAU is an im-

. . .

.

pressive institution, and the impact it has will only increase in importance as it continues in vast discoveries of research, as well as the growing potential to recruit science-based companies to relocate here.”

A student survey under the administration of Alexandru Roman, a Ph.D. student in FAU’s School of Public Administration in the College for Design and Social Inquiry, also was undertaken for this study. The data collected from 805 students in January 2012 indicated that the average student expected to spend $13,206.23 during the semester, excluding tuition. Spending for room rent, utilities, and food and dining accounted for 40 percent of the expenditures; transportation accounted for more than 26.6 percent; and another 15 percent was expended for recreation and entertainment.
