Lauren Bishop is taking every opportunity she sees to make a positive impact before she graduates this spring.

From organizations to volunteering, the Florida State University chemical engineering undergrad takes time to make a difference. 

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Yan Li, a chemical and biomedical engineering professor in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, to its College of Fellows. 

Li was nominated, reviewed and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for addressing critical challenges in neurological tissue regeneration, service to the biomedical profession, and inspiring female and minority students.

Fourth-year chemical engineering student Brooke Gilbert says one of her favorite things about the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is the small, tight-knit community that makes up the college. 

“I think the family atmosphere here fosters an all-embracing and cohesive class of engineers,” the Ft. Lauderdale native explained.

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering proudly announces our engineering faculty members promoted or granted tenure this year.
