New Board Member Orientation
Welcome to the Florida Polytechnic University Board of Trustees Orientation
We’re honored to welcome you to the Florida Polytechnic University Board of Trustees. Thank you for your commitment to serving the state of Florida and our university by bringing your time, insight, and leadership to our innovative and forward-thinking institution.
Your orientation experience is designed to reflect the spirit of Florida Poly’s academic approach rooted in innovation and efficiency. Modeled after our “flipped classroom” concept, this blended learning format allows you to explore key information through a series of eight concise, self-paced modules prior to your in-person orientation.
This structure ensures that when you arrive on campus, your time is focused on meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of your role and impact as a trustee. We’re confident this approach will make your orientation experience both engaging and productive.
We look forward to partnering with you as we continue to shape the future of STEM education in Florida and beyond.
