This past week, Florida Memorial University proudly welcomed representatives from the U.S. Department of Education, including Under Secretary Nicholas Kent and members of his distinguished team, for an engaging and forward-focused visit to campus.
At the heart of the discussions was the number one priority: student success.
During the campus tour, university leadership showcased the strength, resilience, and upward trajectory of South Florida’s only HBCU. From academic innovation to student support initiatives, the visit highlighted the transformative work underway to broaden opportunity and advance educational equity for current and future generations.
University officials expressed sincere appreciation for the Department’s time, thoughtful dialogue, and spirit of collaboration. Engagements of this significance underscore that Florida Memorial University’s voice continues to resonate — and carry weight — in the national conversation surrounding access, equity, and opportunity in higher education.
