We are seeking Presentation Proposals for student leadership development in these areas: professionalism, technology, self-development, and teamwork.

As part of a university-wide effort to join the City of Boca Raton in celebrating its Centennial Anniversary, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) will host Dr. Sandra Norman on Thursday, July 10, 12:30 – 2:00 p.m., for a special presentation: From WWII Airfield to Research Powerhouse: The Hidden History of FAU.

Hear from Dr. Norman how a World War II airfield transformed into Florida Atlantic University, now a Top-Tier Research University. Learn first-hand, about the story of FAU in Boca Raton as one of vision, politics, and opportunity. Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey from military base to academic powerhouse and study the key players who made it happen.
