Justin Hoffmeier

Associate Professor

Dr. Justin Hoffmeier joined Florida Poly in 2022 as an associate professor in the Applied Mathematics Department. His published work and invited presentations include results on homological properties of commutative local rings and exact zero-divisor graphs, as well as mathematical pedagogy. More recently, he has pursued the application of topological data analysis to a variety of disciplines.

Prior to Florida Poly, Hoffmeier worked at Northwest Missouri State University as a tenured associate professor, where he taught a variety of mathematics courses and served in several leadership positions across the university.

He and his family are very excited to be a part of the Florida Poly team.

Session Details

This session will demonstrate that practical risk management is for everyone, regardless of a formal program. Attendees will learn actionable and simple strategies that are easy to implement, enabling them to start immediately by focusing on their top risks to build greater operational resilience and ensure the sustained success of their auxiliary enterprises.

Presenter Profile

Michelle Powell serves as the pioneering Risk Manager at Florida Polytechnic University, the state’s sole 100% STEM-dedicated institution. Having been with the university for nearly 11 years, Michelle transitioned from a leadership role in Admissions in October 2023 to establish and evolve the risk management function from the ground up. In this solo capacity, Michelle builds robust frameworks for our dynamic, young university, overseeing our insurance portfolio, consulting on third-party and event risks, and developing critical campus-wide training programs. Michelle has obtained the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management certificate and the Associate in Risk Management (ARM) and Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS) designations. Her distinct background in mathematics and engineering, combined with extensive higher education leadership, brings an analytical and strategic approach enhancing the institution’s resilience.
