Message from the Student Government President

Welcome to FAU! My name is Robert Huffman and I am the Student Body President for the 2012-2013 academic year. I first would like to congratulate you on being accepted into Florida Atlantic University and applaud you on your decision to be an Owl. I cannot begin to explain how envious I am of you to begin your college career here at FAU this year! FAU has grown immensely in my time here and it has exceeded my expectations tremendously. From our new on campus stadium to our beautiful Harbor Branch campus, you are in for an experience that I promise you will not forget.
 
With that said, I want to encourage you to challenge yourself for these next four years and do not be afraid to leap outside of the box. As a shy freshman myself, I always had expectations of what my college career would entail. However, I quickly learned that a great college experience would not begin by sitting in my dorm room all day and night. FAU offers an immense amount of opportunities to get involved and make your college experience what you want it to be! I had the opportunity to get involved with a Greek organization and a few clubs my freshman year, and without taking those opportunities I am confident to say that I would be no where I am today. With over 300 organizations on campus, you can find your niche and take on challenges you never knew existed. Therefore, with your graduation closely

approaching, take advantage of every second you have in college and meet as many people as you can; for these will be the friendships and memories that will travel with you for the rest of your life. I hope that you will join me this year, in making Florida Atlantic University a truly remarkable place for you, me, and over 28,000 of our fellow Owls!

Feel free to stop by the Student Government offices and meet your student representatives in the second floor of the Student Union. Remember, what you put in here at Florida Atlantic University, you will receive in return. As always, GO OWLS!
 

All the Best,
Robert F. Huffman
Student Body President
University Trustee
