Florida State University researchers received a record level of funding in the 2020 fiscal year, bringing in $250.1 million in grants from federal, state and private sources.

 

The quarter-billion milestone in research funding is more than $16 million higher than the previous record, which FSU posted in fiscal year 2019.

 

Five FAMU-FSU College of Engineering students received the esteemed Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF-GRF program recognizes and supports exceptional graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines who are pursuing research-based masters and doctoral degrees. 

Vanderbilt University Interim Chancellor and Provost Susan R. Wente recently announced the appointment of William H. Robinson as Vanderbilt’s vice provost for academic advancement and executive director of the Provost’s Office for Inclusive Excellence.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly famously called the Bahamas, “the most beautiful place from space.”

The 700-island archipelago spans the ocean with islands that boast white shimmering sand beaches and some of the clearest water on earth. The islands are known for many things from pirate forts to the famous Junkanoo festival. 

Something that most people don’t know is the Bahamas are also the home of some very successful engineers and they are graduates of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

A Florida State University graduate student at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has been unstoppable these days. Jackie Jermyn’s research on mobile robot navigation has led the young scholar on a path that has earned her a prestigious SMART Scholarship from the Department of Defense (DoD), which will fully fund her doctoral studies for the next three years.
