Association of Florida Colleges Conference Held at 新澳门六合彩开奖记录

Higher education leaders from across Florida gathered Friday at Eastern Florida State College to trade ideas and discuss better ways to help students and improve their colleges.

The Association of Florida Colleges (AFC) conference, held on the Melbourne campus, included participants from AFC Region III, which includes Eastern Florida, Daytona State College, Valencia College, Seminole State College, Lake Sumter State College and the College of Central Florida.

It was also a joint session for the AFC's Facilities Commission, which includes representatives from around the state.

鈥淧rofessional development is important to the success of our colleges, and today鈥檚 conference allows everyone to network and take back valuable information to share with their colleagues,鈥� said Christine Warner, 新澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 Director of Student Recruitment who also serves on the AFC鈥檚 Board of Directors.

Warner noted that Eastern Florida鈥檚 AFC membership has grown nearly 20 percent over the past year as more employees take advantage of the opportunities the association offers.

Richard Laird, Eastern Florida鈥檚 Vice President for Operations, welcomed the group and talked about the college鈥檚 strong connection to the nation鈥檚 space program at NASA鈥檚 Kennedy Space Center.

Many 新澳门六合彩开奖记录 graduates have worked for NASA and its contractors, with college programs still supplying highly-skilled workers to companies launching the next-generation of human spaceflight.

鈥淲e鈥檙e extremely proud of our close relationship with NASA that鈥檚 as strong as ever,鈥� said Laird. 鈥淲hen astronauts go back to the moon and journey to Mars, I have no doubt that Eastern Florida graduates will play a role.鈥�

The approximately 100 Association members attending the conference later toured the college鈥檚 new state-of-the-art Health Sciences Institute and attended a series of workshops.
