Justin Pacific was one of the college’s original Trailblazers. Hailing from Somers Point, New Jersey, Justin was part of the first freshmen class in 1999. After graduating from Florida Atlantic in 2003 with an Honors College concentration in Psychology, Pacific remained at FAU for graduate school and received his M.A. in Psychology in 2006. He then was admitted to the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Justin credits the Honors College with giving him a good foundation for these different programs. “The discussion-based classes were a great preparation for graduate school and beyond. The comfort I obtained from routinely defending my ideas in front of my peers carried over to situations that required me to speak in other types of public settings, including making oral arguments during appellate processes and advocacy proceedings.” Looking back on his FAU, Justin comments: “I greatly enjoyed the friends that I made and the peer-level interaction I had with the faculty.”
