Last weekend, we had the pleasure of celebrating Florida Atlantic’s 60th anniversary at the 2022 President’s Gala. As one of the University’s most impactful traditions, the gala provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our many achievements while raising funds for student scholarships.

Thanks to all who were involved, I am thrilled to share that this year’s gala was a tremendous success. With more than 600 guests in attendance, we raised in excess of $2 million for student scholarships! Providing these funds to deserving FAU students is one of the most important ways we are ensuring success for all. I would like to offer my most sincere gratitude to the sponsors, guests and volunteers who supported our current and future Owls by helping them access a world-class education that will prepare them to become tomorrow’s leaders.

During the event, guests were treated to a glamorous evening filled with gourmet food, live entertainment by Motown band, Memory Lane, and a custom fireworks display overlooking FAU Stadium. To view photos from the gala, visit the Presidential Events Flickr album.
