The FAU Libraries will offer an educational screening of the 2014 historical drama Selma in recognition of Black History Month. This event is free and open to the FAU community. Light refreshments will be served and include a discussion at the movie’s conclusion. Please register for an accurate count of attendees.
From February 1 – February 22, about 15,000 FAU students will be randomly chosen to speak up on behalf of all of FAU in the National College Health Assessment. Check your FAU email to see if you’ve been chosen! Help us help you–each survey completed helps FAU learn what health and wellness resources students need. Additionally, for each survey completed, one non-perishable food item will be donated to the FAU Beyond Food pantry to support the 47.6% of FAU students who report needing help affording food–we actually learned that data point from reviewing results from the last time we sent out this survey! Thank you for this contribution to the FAU community.
